My Ruin

Inside my shadow,
I can hear you. Am I near you?
Inside my shadow,
I can smell you. can I tell you?
Inside my shadow,
I can love you. Think I need you.
Inside my shadow,
I can feel you. I've embraced you.
Am I Real?
Am I Real?
Save my ruin and us, my world has turned to rust. [repeat]
If there's tomorrow,
Would you give me Please forgive me?
If there's tomorrow,
You'd be buried and that just scares me.
Am I Real?
Am I Real?
Save my ruin and us, my world has turned to rust. [repeat]
