My friend has a rather good affinity for writing songs, and she wrote this one up for Silas.
I find it fits him rather well. Sorry that it doesn't have any music... I feel it's better anyway if you interpret the tone yourself.
My friend titled it "Death's Shadow".

Hey you
You in the corner
Got something to say
You keep looking at me
So strangely
Then you just look away
I don't regret
No not at all
What I did yesterday
Their dying screams are locked
In my brain
And I don't think they'll go away
And it follows me
Like blackness or the plague
Death's shadow
Like the ocean's sway
I seem to know
Where it will go
Every time it comes
But it seems to be here
Just for me
Put away my emotions
Hide all my fears
If nothing scares me
Nothing brings me to tears
The only thing that I enjoy
Is seeing people die
But as I kill myself at night
I try and wonder why
It follows me
Like blackness or the plague
Death's shadow
Like the ocean's sway
I seem to know
Where it will go
Every time it comes
But it seems to be here
Just for me
You could say that I'm immortal
You can say I never die
You can say I live forever
And I guess that you'd be right
I have all the elements on my side
The darkness and the light
Though they think my body's a battlefield
And for eternity they'll fight
I think the Dark is winning
Deep inside I'm scared
What if I'm not myself anymore
This is a burden I can't bear
I've got to stop myself
(Stop myself)
From doing what is I know is wrong
(What I know)
What I know is wrong
It follows me
Like blackness or the plague
Death's shadow
Like the ocean's sway
I seem to know
Where it will go
Every time it comes
But it seems to be here
Just for me
Death's shadow
It's coming down the way
I've got to leave
Before it comes
Just for me
(Just for me)
Just for me
The battle's done
You in the corner
Got something to say
You keep looking at me
So strangely
Then you just look away
I don't regret
No not at all
What I did yesterday
Their dying screams are locked
In my brain
And I don't think they'll go away
And it follows me
Like blackness or the plague
