Walking With Shadows

All my life
They've been here.
Waiting for you.
Patiently.

All they want is your heart and soul
They want your tears to fall
All they want is your purest sin
They want to welcome you in

They will seem,
Innocent,
But they will lead you,
Back to me.

All they need is one tortured soul
They need walking shadows
All they need is your last confession
They need your pain to show me

I'm waiting for the unforgiven
Waiting for sleep to come
I'm waiting for my one obsession
Waiting for you to come home

'Innocence is pain in disguise'
They said.
Now I believe.
