[Verse 1]
Loneliness it shadows me
Quicker than darkness
Crawls to the surface of my skin
Visibly surrounded by it
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Black is all I feel
So this is how it feels to be free
[Chorus]
Miles beside himself
Miles below himself
Miles behind himself
Am I inside myself?
[Verse 3]
Chaos and hate shadow me
Pain it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel
Missing better half of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Black is all I feel
So this is how it feels to be free
[Chorus]
Miles beside himself
Miles below himself
Miles behind himself
Am I inside myself?
Loneliness it shadows me
Quicker than darkness
Crawls to the surface of my skin
Visibly surrounded by it
[Pre-Chorus]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Black is all I feel
So this is how it feels to be free
[Chorus]
Miles beside himself
Miles below himself
Miles behind himself
Am I inside myself?
[Verse 3]
Chaos and hate shadow me
Pain it fills me up
Only one thing makes me feel
Missing better half of me
[Pre-Chorus]
Black is all I feel
So this is how it feels to be free
[Chorus]
Miles beside himself
Miles below himself
Miles behind himself
Am I inside myself?
