Shadow Boxing

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 keep 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 This mask I wear can't keep the darkness in --- Shadow Boxing - Parkway Drive
