The grin was not a smile
The wolf was not your friend
The grip is not of love nor hate
It's got you on your knees
It's whispering in your head
It'll see to that you meet your end
Silent whispers, silent pleads
But no-one hears you cry
The beast inside you never sleeps
It'll never say goodbye
You can't remember
You can't regret
Just stand there mesmerized
You're just as good as dead
Become a shadow in the rain
Collect your prize, be swept away
You're crying for your loss
You're beyond taking the blame
Addiction's torn your soul away
Distorted eyes the broken mind
Howl at the moon in the sky
With shaking hands you dig your own grave
Hopeless prayers as you weep
Still no-one hears your cry
The beast inside you never sleeps
Just kiss the world goodbye
You can't remember
You can't regret
Just stand there mesmerized
You're just as good as dead
Become a shadow in the rain
And as it falls you're washed away
You can't remember
You can't regret
Staring with empty eyes
Hear voices in your head
Become a shadow in the rain
That's what you are
Shadow in the rain
Hopeless prayers as you weep
Still no-one hears your cry
The beast inside you never sleeps
Just kiss the world goodbye
