Shadow Kissed

Verse one:
We hide behind our state of mind.
When things go wrong we run to the side.
Pretending everything's just fine.
But guaranteed to make you cry.
But that's what they call life.

Chorus:
You know you've been shadow kissed
When you can feel it on your lips.
It creeps in with all your pain.
You know it's coming again.
Ignore it, just pretend that it doesn't exist.
You know you've been shadow kissed
When you can feel it in your blood.
It rushes in like a flood.
You know it'll drown you in your sleep.
Ignore it, just repeat because it doesn't exist.

Verse two:
We tremble in this state of fear.
When things scare us we disappear.
Pretending everything's just fine.
But guaranteed to make you die.
But that's what they call life.

Chorus:
You know you've been shadow kissed
When you can feel it on your lips.
It creeps in with all your pain.
You know it's coming again.
Ignore it, just pretend that it doesn't exist.
You know you've been shadow kissed
When you can feel it in your blood.
It rushes in like a flood.
You know it'll drown you in your sleep.
Ignore it, just repeat because it doesn't exist.

Bridge:
I'll push past all this **** I fear.
Can't hold onto a single tear.
Let go of this life.
And let the shadows kiss me in the night.

My Traingirl,this is the best thing I've seen from you..........Ever!I'm proud of my Traingirl!Only thing I suggest;break up the lines that run too long.After "kissed" "When"should start a new line.Just my opinion,love this piece!Toot!Toot!

My Douuug (: Thank you soso much. I'm glad you like it! I'll take that into consideration (:
chugga chugga <3

Back me up John.Whatcha think?
I only say this because it's a Song Lyric;it has to be sung!If the verses don't match up,it's more difficult to establish a rhythm or beat.If you can sing this,as is,disregard my critique.If you haven't tried singing it...........I have spoken.

I love this one and yeah Doug is right you should break up the long lines you just have to find the right point to do it at.

Trainpassenger: This pic is from the old metro in Glasgow. It was so scary there that a film was produced "Death Shadow", a rather weird suspense
movie (lost the details, see if I can find them for you).

I dedicate it to this poem of yours, full of excellent though scary thoughts

Thank youu. I love the eeriness of this photo.

Keep inspiring me, Trainpassenger, and I'll keep you company with pics<3<3<3

Nice work. Pain and fear are part of life. The only way to escape them is through death. And even death is no guarantee.

People fear death,true.It's a guarantee that pain ends in death as does everything.Of course,in life the only thing that's guaranteed is death and taxes.

How do you like this: My income over the past two months has been 0, yet my taxes are 15% If there's heaven or hell, do you bet they'll tax us there too?

15% of zero is zero. That's the one way to beat the taxman, don't make or spend any money. It works for me.

Well, you need some bread though, I suggest Or are you the one kissing shadows and emptying apple trees after midnight?

Sounds like you're on your way to a new Poem or Song.Rock on,Brother!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS, Brother! I started writing again, but this time I am not taking the inspiration from rocking brains but from rocking pics!

Your first visit and comment there yesterday ensured me : you've got a healthy dose of black humor!

Much appreciated, Doug!
