I know places

 I know places I have never seen

I know people I have never met

I am better than I've ever been

Feeling worse than I have ever felt

Dimmed my light and stayed away, in shadow

I refused to speak and let them know

Stole a heart, pretended I just borrowed

Swore to God I'd never let it go

Lied to my water about your fire

Tried to hide my flame, but it grew my desire

Your tallest wishes came burning to the ground

Preparing yourself for the next round

Bled my love for you but many bathed in it

Then they poisoned it 'cause it was not royal

But I put a spell on every one that did

Haven't found you yet, but I have stayed loyal

Where there is fire, there is smoke

Couldn't see you because of it all

Been walking on an endless rope

Burning stars stayed to hear my call

I know places I have never seen

I know people I have never met

I know that you have heard about me

Haven't met, but I have no regret.

If I did, then how could I forget?

Shadow

You've never met me but you've searched my profile

I've never met you but you have made me cry

Never seen me but I was at your birthday

Time travel got way too real, but not perfect

Wish I'd rewind it and re-live my life

But I can only rewind it if I die

Got in my memories, I turned into you

I look at my past and all I see is you

Can never see the people I love again

I can only see life through your lens

Your friends wished your life but what I got is this

Memories of me now never exist

Born as a shadow and died as a light

Nothing can get me out of the darkest night 

Maybe one day I will be born for real

This time I'll make out of life a great deal

I will not pray anymore for my friends

'Cause they are so far and I hit just dead ends

One day I'll wake up, be finally free

One day I won't question who I will be
