Not who you used to be (you're scaring me)

(Sheila Blackburn)

Sometimes you loose a loved one even though they are right by your side. Depression, addiction, dementia many things steal away a person and leave a shell you hardly recognise. These lyrics explore the helpless fear of those standing by.

You’re not who you used to be
Black shadow growing over you
Dark tendrils growing through your mind
Empty void that fills your eyes
I can’t follow where you lead, I can’t bring you back again, don’t think we’ll ever be the same.
You’re scaring me. 
Like nightmares in the night
Like snuffing out the candle light
You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me

You’re at the bottom of a pit
Can’t see a hand before your face
A flickering image in a swirling mist
Insubstantial, hardly there 
I can’t follow where you lead, I can’t bring you back again, don’t think we’ll ever be the same.
You’re scaring me. 
Like nightmares in the night
Like snuffing out the candle light
You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me

You’re breath is shallow like a grave
Cant get the thing you need from me
Cant see your way back to the road
And demons wait inside your head
I can’t follow where you lead, I can’t bring you back again, don’t think we’ll ever be the same.
You’re scaring me. 
Like nightmares in the night
Like snuffing out the candle light
You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me

I can’t follow where you lead, I can’t bring you back again, I know you’ll never be the same.
You’re scaring me. 
Like nightmares in the night
Like snuffing out the candle light
You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me
Like nightmares in the night
Like snuffing out the candle light
You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me
You have slipped into the night, now its black and I can’t fight. 
You’re scaring me, you’re scaring me, you’re scaring me.
