SHADOWS BEHIND THE DOOR

doors are shut, curtains frozen

eyes are closed, heartbeats fallen

voice is choked, breaths broken

but gaps in her fingers are still open

thats for sure

'cause i can hear

wailing shadows behind the door.

 

laughters are gone, smiles are sadistic

skin is lifeless, body without emotion

she doesn't need me - the world is shouting

its the silly world she is fighting

tell her- i am in tears and she would come

thats for sure

'cause i can hear

wailing shadows behind the door.

 

world wants to take her away

" I never loved you" - she would say

neither the world nor she

can deny the winter and the spring

she would someday herself open the door

 till i live i shall be waiting

thats for sure

'cause i can hear

wailing shadows behind the door.
