Shadows

Lyrics by Benita Mae

Performed by Michele Capriccioni

I wrote “Shadows” because I wanted to try a different genre – something dark and brooding.

Shadows

They say I’ve been looking for love in all the wrong places
If only they met my lover
I’m tired of being fooled by all the smiling faces
And every ones a liar

Now I’m all chained up inside
Forced to take every hit
I’ve been choked by pride
That I’m so tired crying about it

I’m in love with a shadow
I like him when he’s silent
But even more when he’s violent
I’m in love with a shadow
He’s asking me to dance
In this dark and twisted romance

Tired of all these people lying
Tired of being used
Why is it the truth your always hiding?
Why do you have to make me so confused?

Chorus

We’re the king and queen of darkness
To create nothing but madness
We’re the people of the night
For those who are looking for a fight
We’re the masters of shadows

I’m in love with a shadow
I’m in love with a shadow
I’m in love with a shadow
I like him when he’s silent
But even more when he’s violent
I’m in love with a shadow
He’s asking me to dance
In this dark and twisted romance
I’m in love with a shadow

I like him when he’s silent
