Only My Shadow Knows Lyrics Novels & Stories

"I wrote Let Me Know, our lead single while on the road. Now, it's done recording, I want you to hear it." He grabbed his phone and played the music. It was as if an initial response that my heartbeat elevated dangerously. Butterflies flew in my stomach. Flowers began to grow in my lungs, suffocating me. It's the same damn feeling everytime. Blue sky lights up the night, it's the morning I can't get through to you I wish that this floor would come to life and tell the story 'Cause no one knows where I missed my move Umalingawngaw ang tinig niya sa loob ng sasakyan. Lumipad naman ang mga mata ko sa labas ng bintana. We have began to trail the wide and endless expressway that leads north.

Only I and Nathaniel are waiting for the rhythm of the song in our earphones. It's just us. Just us who can hear the song. I can remember from the intro of the song, it's Everything from Taylor Swift. "Everyone sing together! Wave your hands!" Khaycee said, so Nathaniel is singing along with the song, our song. I don't wanna look at anything else now that I saw you, I don't wanna think of anything else now that I thought of you, I've been sleeping so long in a twenty-year dark night, And now I see daylight, I only see daylight.

Ang eksena ay parang rurok ng tagumpay, isang sandaling puno ng ilusyon at yabang. Hanggang sa biglang may tumililis na tunog mula sa speakers. Napasapo sa tenga ang mga tao sa sobrang lakas ng feedback. Pagkatapos, isang malinaw at kalmadong boses ng babae ang umalingawngaw sa buong venue, malamig at diretso sa puso. “Hindi. Hindi ka magiging kampeon. Magiging kang…. isang kahihiyan.”

Breathe deep, breathe clear Know that I'm here Know that I'm here Waitin' Sabi ni mommy kapag kumanta ako ng songs dapat gumawa ako ng adlib na sarili ko mismo bigyan ko ng kulay 'yon ang ginagawa ko sa tuwing kumakanta ako. I'll see you soon I'll see you soon How could a heart like yours Ever love a heart like mine? How could I live before? How could I have been so blind? You opened up my eyes

When it's so full of tricks I'll be toasting the gold lights of life The trail is cold and hard The course of the light of the child Slow messenger I'm in charge of the coal and the fire White noise calling on a sudden deluge I'm chased out of breath trying to come back to you I'm in arrest of the subtle hues I'm in the self sick solitude

"Matakot kayo sakin. Kamuhian niyo ako. Katakutan niyo ako dahil isa akong halimaw—isang nilikhang hindi kailanman natutong mahalin, kaya piniling mamuhay sa dilim." I don't want your love. I want your fear. Because fear is real. Fear doesn't betray. And in the empire I built from the bones of traitors— Only the feared survive. I chose the monster. I became the shadow that eats everything good. I was ready to sink deeper—deeper into this abyss I called power. Until I saw her. She wasn't mine. She didn't even look at me. She was chasing some piece of shit who didn't deserve to breathe the same air she did—eyes wide, voice trembling, like she was ready to kneel just to be noticed.

You're the light, you're the night You're the colour of my blood You're the cure, you're the pain You're the only thing I wanna touch Never knew that it could mean so much, so much You're the fear, I don't care 'Cause I've never been so high Follow me through the dark Let me take you past our satellites You can see the world you brought to life, to life So love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do Love me like you do, la-la-love me like you do Touch me like you do, ta-ta-touch me like you do

Kaya naman imbes na aalis na siya ay lumingon siya. "I'm sorry, Sir. Huwag mo---" "Ano'ng ingay iyan, Shadow? Aba'y nasa tapat ka ng silid ko. Hindi mo ba alam na nakakadisturbo ka ng panaginip," tinig na nagmula sa loob ng kabahayan. "Keep on dreaming, Miss Adel. Masaya lang akong nakakita ng shooting star," mahinang tugon ng Shadow. Mahina man ang pagkasabi pero dahil sa gabi ay sapat na upang marinig ng naalimpungatan mula sa panaginip.

"I love him," Love, fuck that fucking love. Who invented that fucking love so I can haunt that shit even in the afterlife. That fucking love ruined me and made me for what I am now. Everyone knows that so I can't blame them if they will have a doubt about me. Besides, I don't care about their opinion. I am living on my own and doesn't mind about peoples thought about me. "Love? you were once ruined by that fucking love, don't tell me that you will put the Shadow in danger again?"

Wala ring mga katagang lumabas sa mga bibig niya. Napabaling siya ng tingin dito nang bigla na lang itong bumunghalit ng isang rock na kanta. "You're too busy chasing shadows, can't you see I'm standing in the light, loving you all the while?" Muntik pang magtama ang mga mata nila nang biglang sumulyap ito sa kanya. Mabuti na lang talaga at nakaiwas siya.
