"Hosting The Shadow" lyrics

"Hosting The Shadow"
(feat. Randy Blythe)

My time is up but I don't care
I march alone
Alienated
I won't drift away
Born a loner
I don't bind
I just need the pain
To feel alive

I flirt with the dark
I'm suffocating
The turmoil inside
To set my demons straight

'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
At the bottom of the well I find respite
And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow

This life is coming with a price
No room for negotiation
A never-ending debt I cannot repay
I need to hold on
And don't be afraid
To embrace the darkest side
Of my bleak heart
I traded my soul
Knowing I took the chance
Of losing myself in the exchange

'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
At the bottom of the well I find respite
And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow

Let the rain fall hard
And purge the road
'Cause my life feels so uneasy
I've got nothing to lose
I know
I'm finding comfort into the gloom
Feeling bullet proof
Laughing with my shadow
Laughing with my shadow
Laughing with my shadow
Laughing with my shadow
Laughing with my shadow

And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive

'Cause I'm not afraid of the absence of light
At the bottom of the well I find respite
And it doesn't even matter if I'm dead or alive
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow

Let the rain fall hard
And purge the road
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow

Let the rain fall down
And purge my soul
Alone, I'm hosting the shadow
