shadow boxing

Parkway Drive

Do you see me
Do you see what I ve become
I m not the same beast
I leave a scar on all I touch
You think you know me now
Is it better than I know myself
I know it hurts like hell
Admitting just how you ve misjudged

All my life I ve been told the same old
Don t step out, don t test the mould
We know your kind, yeah we know you
So much better than you know yourself
See, the ones that won t engage me
Are the same trying to cage me
But I can t sit still and I won t be tame
When the lights go out
Better know your enemy

Because I ve spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death
And we ll dance with the devil til there s no songs left

So do you see me
Do you see what I ve become
I m not the same beast, no
I leave a scar on all I touch
You think you know me now
Is it better than I know myself
I know it hurts like hell
Admitting just how you ve misjudged

You don t know me, you cannot own me
The path I m on don t fit the old me
I bear my soul as I keel evolving
And I chase this taste for blood
See, I learned real young, don t seek no gold
Trust no fool and you won t get sold
I never feared the dark
No, I just became it
When the lights go dead
You better pray you re safe kid

Because I ve spent a lifetime shadowboxing with death
And we ll dance with the devil til there s no songs left

I try
To keep my cool and not let this hate win
I find
This mask I wear can t keep the darkness in

The world you know was born to fade
We ll dance upon its grave

You don t know me, you cannot hold me
You should have guessed that you can t control me
I raise my soul like a private army
and I steel myself for war
Because I leaned real young
when you walk through hell
The devil can t buy what you won t sell
So I took my fear, reshaped and aimed
Because when the night caves in

No one will save you

So we ll dance with the devil til there s no songs left

I try
To keep my cool and not let this hate win
I find
This mask I wear can t keep the darkness in
