In their shadows I stand still,
Nervous heart can't find its will
Eyes on me they drink the fear,
Drowning in their twisted cheer
Spotlight burns and I can't hide,
Trembling hands they cast aside
Whispers loud they fan the flame,
Vultures joy my silent shame
They laugh loud while I just cringe,
Every word becomes unhinged
In their gaze my freedom dies,
Their delight as I capsize
Anchored down I'm lost at sea,
Social waves consuming me
Every stumble fuels their glow,
Seeds of anguish watch them sow
They laugh loud while I just cringe,
Every word becomes unhinged
In their gaze my freedom dies,
Their delight as I capsize
No escape from their embrace,
Smiling masks they wear with grace
Feeding off my every dread,
Shadows long inside my head
