Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Loneliness it shadows me
Quicker than darkness
Crawls to the surface of my skin
Visibly surrounded by it
[PreChorus]
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
[Verse 2]
Surrounded by empty souls
Artificial courage used
And because so once was mine
I walk this maze alone
[PreChorus]
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
[Chorus]
The man's beside himself
Man's below himself
Man's behind himself
Am I inside my self
[Verse 3]
Chaos and hate shadow me
Pain it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel
Missing better half of me
[PreChorus]
Black is all I feel, so this is how it feels to be free
[Chorus]
The man's beside himself
Man's below himself
Man's behind himself
Am I inside my self
