All That I'm Living For

All that I’m living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore alone at night

I can feel the night beginning
Separate me from the living
Understanding me
After all I’ve seen
Piecing every thought together
Find the words to make me better
If I only knew how to pull myself apart

All that I’m living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore alone at night
All that I’m wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door
My ghosts are gaining on me

I believe that dreams are sacred
Take my darkest fears and play them
Like a lullaby
Like a reason why
Like a play of my obsessions
Make me understand the lesson
So I’ll find myself
So I won’t be lost again

All that I’m living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore alone at night
All that I’m wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door
My ghosts are gaining on me

Guess I thought I’d have to change the world
To make you see me
To be the one
I could have run forever
But how far would I have come
Without mourning your love?

All that I’m living for
All that I’m dying for
All that I can’t ignore alone at night
All that I’m wanted for
Although I wanted more
Lock the last open door
My ghosts are gaining on me

Should it hurt to love you?
Should I feel like I do?
Should I lock the last open door
My ghosts are gaining on me.

    love the mood!

  • Craig Shillington replied

    Thanks Angel. :) This was part of a set of shots I got during a thunderstorm when I was looking to get lightning shots. This being one of the first as I was setting up technically it wasn’t much chop … but I really liked how it turned out so I played with it some in PS and fixed it up and chose the Evanescence song because it seemed to say the tree was making choices of which way it was heading spiritually ;)
