Whitechapel (USA) - Dwell in the Shadows

Dwell in the Shadows


I dwell in the shadows of a past life!
And I welcome you to try to pull my thoughts to the outside.
Introverted, am I supposed to be a man that doesn’t hold it back.
I don’t need the spotlight, all I need is to be the man I know I am

I dwell in the shadows of a past life!
And I never thought my words,
would change the lives of the mentally disturbed.
It’s insane to me, I help lyrically.
It seems, you’re more fucked up than me!

But that’s who we are!
Mass produced psychos with a million scars.
That’s who we will be and you’re the ones that made me.

Don’t ever change!
We are who we are and it should remain the same.
If you don’t want to dwell in the light,
then dwell in the shadows with me.

Dwell in the shadows with me!
Dwell in the shadows with me!

I am a ghost!
They never see the side I hate the most.
Blackened by the outside,
I’m fighting a rising tide.

I’m not afraid!
This is the part of my life that has made me who I am,
and what I am is a tortured soul helping them to see the light.
I am a voice for the people to relate to my hate.
But I’ll always dwell in the shadows until you call for me.

They will call us evil, forever they’ll shun.
But just call my name and I’ll take their tongues.
This blade cuts deeper than flesh.
It cuts down to the soul, as we dwell in the shadows.

I am your voice for them to hear.
I am your thoughts, I am your fears.
We are one and we are all,
as we dwell in the shadows.

I never thought I could hold on,
or help anyone to get out of the darkness,
and stop them from a suicide!

I know when you’re lost it’s hard to find any peace for your mind.
Let me be your voice and hold the balance of mankind.
May we all find our way and stop us from self-destructing.
If that day still comes, I’ll die the man I always was.

Don’t ever change!
We are who we are and it should remain the same.
If you don’t want to dwell in the light,
then dwell in the shadows with me.

Dwell in the shadows with me!
If you don’t want to dwell in the light,
then dwell in the shadows with me.
