Shadowy Whispers
I hear the whispers, in the blowing breeze,
The laughter that taunts me, it's in the trees.
Beckoning me to join the dance,
Making sure I know It's my last chance.
They want to take me,make me their own,
Telling me their love is like none I've known,
I can almost feel them caress my cheek,
I fear them fiercely, I cannot speak.
"Come to us," I hear them plead,
"We have it all, everything that you need."
I do not wish to follow the light,
I will stay where I am, I choose to fight.
"Go away" I tell them, I don't want you here,
"If I have faith in this world, I have nothing to fear,
I want to live, and walk in the sun,
I will join you, when I've decided I'm done.
The laughter that taunts me, it's in the trees.
Beckoning me to join the dance,
Making sure I know It's my last chance.
They want to take me,make me their own,
Telling me their love is like none I've known,
I can almost feel them caress my cheek,
I fear them fiercely, I cannot speak.
"Come to us," I hear them plead,
"We have it all, everything that you need."
I do not wish to follow the light,
I will stay where I am, I choose to fight.
"Go away" I tell them, I don't want you here,
"If I have faith in this world, I have nothing to fear,
I want to live, and walk in the sun,
I will join you, when I've decided I'm done.
