Shadow of the Self

I've resided here for years
With a hunger for the freedom I try to attain
But this torture now feels like home
I fell in love with the blood and the pain

Intoxicated from the rush of vertigo
I'm balancing on a border
Dreaming of slipping, yearning to fall
My sense is out of order

I cut loose a piece of mind
That I'm saving for the sunshine
As a hope of regaining my goal
The only piece I won't consign

For I invested it all
Because I couldn't let go of the torment
That I've feared my entire life
That followed me wherever I went

In the end I find myself too weak
To break loose from was has been
My security in the shadows
Is what makes them win
