Chasing Shadows lyrics

Chasing shadows, over my walls

with myself hardly sleeping.

Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall

fill the room with their creeping.

Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears

then they fade into nothing.

Someone's laughter out in the street

fills the night with their loving.

I feel the ice in my head

running its hands through my bed,

not even dreaming, I seem to be dead,

colours of yellow and colours of red.

All I'm asking some secret voice

is to lead me to darkness

I'm so tired, dawn never comes,

I just lie in the shadows

~~~~~~~~

All I'm asking some secret voice

is to lead me to darkness

I'm so tired, dawn never comes,

I just lie in the shadows.

I feel the ice in my head

running its hands through my bed,

not even dreaming, I seem to be dead,

colours of yellow and colours of red.
