Shadows

Everyone’s a fake
Even friends that I’ve known
One day you'll awake
To find you're on your own
The friends that you made
Are just shadows of the past
Just like all porcelain smiles
They never seem to last
So inject another needle
Just kill another day
Dream of how it use to be
To take the pain away
You use to be so crystal clear
Now your fading out
I don't know why I put my faith in you
When I always had my doubts
This darkness in my heart
This needle in my veins
Can't numb all, I can feel
My broken soul remains
So increase my usual dosage
And just leave me here to die
You use to be so crystal clear
Before these shadows passed me by
