Perish

Perish

I tried to hide, but I have to face it

Confront, accept, and in time, embrace it

Pick it up and get right in, now tell me, where do I begin?

There's so much to uncover here, and I can't keep ignoring

Silhouettes in my dreams again, but I think I know who you are

Something so familiar about the figure that's staring back at you

A new dimension, feel the tension, but keep it out of view

What if you grabbed its horns? Stared down into its core?

Would it be the key to truly knowing who you are?

Always a part of me with me wherever I go

Can't isolate, can't leave, so why not get to know?

I'm thinking it's time I made friends with my shadow

We're doing the work, feel the hurt or we will all perish

Listen up, take it slow, yeah, sometimes I lose it

Like day into night, it ebbs and flows

Pick it up and pull me in, it's time to lift the veil again

Can I get a connection to her inner reflection?

What does it mean? What does it make me?

Who am I now? Who am I really?

Why does my mind think the way it does?

Who was I then? And who have I become?

Always a part of me with me wherever I go

Can't isolate, can't leave, so why not get to know?

I'm thinking it's time I made friends with my shadow

We're doing the work, feel the hurt or we will all perish

Light a match and let the shadow work begin

Inner sanctum, where it's time for me to let you in

Light a match and let the shadow work begin

Inner sanctum, think it's time for you to let me in

Always a part of me with me wherever I go

Can't isolate, can't leave, so why not get to know?

I'm thinking it's time I made friends with my shadow

We're doing the work, feel the hurt or we will all—
