Every time I felt that I understand
A shadow falls on me takes it away
Every time I try to walk away
A shadow falls on me tells me to stay

When will it end?
When will it end?

Every time I dream you will come home
A shadow falls on me, wake up alone
Every time I scream for someone to blame
A shadow falls on me, whispers my name

When will it end?
When will it end?

Every time I wake, locked in this room
A shadow falls on me tells me too soon
Every time I die, lead by your cry
A shadow falls on me and keeps me alive

When will it end?
When will it end?
