I am not a monster or bastard made of shame
Just another scape goat for everything you hate
You are just a coward believing truth and lies
Twisted blackened smile you always try to hide
There is a war in me and it is begging for peace
I've wanted you to see what I could always be
And with this shadow I leave I am taking with me
So it won't cover your eyes when I burn out
I'm not afraid of the dark or what's hiding
Trapped underneath is a ghost still living
Breaking these chains that hold and bind me
Walk the line a shadow in the light
I don't need a savior to shine my way
Dragged myself out of hell for that is not my fate
Don't speak or hear or see your own foul deeds
Using words as weapons won't take control of me
There is a war in me and it is begging for peace
I've wanted you to see what I could always be
And with this shadow I leave I am taking with me
So it won't cover your eyes when I burn out
I'm not afraid of the dark or what's hiding
Trapped underneath is a ghost still living
Breaking these chains that hold and bind me
Walk the line a shadow in the light
I will not hide
This will not be the end
I'll open these gates
Even if I stain these hands
I'm not afraid of the dark or what's hiding
Trapped underneath is a ghost still living
Breaking these chains that hold and bind me
Walk the line a shadow in the light
I'm not afraid of the dark or what's hiding
Trapped underneath is a ghost still living
Breaking these chains that hold and bind me
Walk the line a shadow in the light
I will not hide
This will not be the end
I'm not afraid of the dark or what's hiding
Trapped underneath is a ghost still living
Breaking these chains that hold and bind me
Walk the line a shadow in the light
There is a war in me and it is begging for peace
I've wanted you to see what I could always be
And with this shadow I leave I am taking with me
So it won't cover your eyes when I burn out bright
Burn out bright
