In Her Shadow

Converge

she is at the end chasing her own fading light

running from her shadow in the name of living

searched for worth in the lust of men

paid in blood in different beds

mistaking sex for true love

they never meant a thing

her addiction brought her a world

of coward boys and of cheater girls

looking for an easy way out of being ordinary

so she boarded their sinking ship

and crossed their red needle sea

drowning truth to live her lie

that she was ordinary

in her fading shadow
