Shadows

(album: More Than Friends - 2015)

It's dark in here tonight
The shadows surround you, consuming the light
But you just close your eyes
'Cause you're too afraid to fight
You think you hear the ghosts
Tearing on walls, they're getting close
And you promise yourself that nobody can help with a sickness they can't diagnose

Do you know why you are here
Trapped in a world that triggers your fears
Do you know why it's not clear
You've been stuck in here for years

Get up and go, you lost control of what you had so close
You can't cover up yourself
In the mystics you make and the lies that you tell
Just get up and go
Nobody else will ever know that you just like to run
But the regret will catch you, it catches everyone

Your mind is just a mess
Stuttered, imperfect, you hate to confess
That you're falling apart again
Your shadows are starting to win
And you just keep on walking with no strength to stand
Well if I cannot save you, then no one else can

Do you know why you are here
Trapped in a nightmare where your only fear
Is that you'll never make it home

Get up and go, you lost control of what you held so close
You can't cover up yourself
In the mystics you make and the lies that you tell
Just get up and go
Nobody else will ever know that you just like to run
But the regret will catch you, it catches everyone

This darkness is keeping you, so caught up in leaving me
I could call you out on every flaw, but you make it just too easy
Your scars, they show us stories about every time you snapped
When the happiness inside your heart was starting to collapse
And these choices you made are the chances you lost
Was it worth the debt you paid if your life was the cost
Now you're hopelessly chained to the corner of your room
And your shackles are your weaknesses, you never made it through

This darkness is keeping you, so caught up in leaving me
I could call you out on every flaw, but you make it just too easy
Your scars, they show us stories about every time you snapped
When the happiness inside your heart was starting to collapse
And these choices you made are the chances you lost
Was it worth the debt you paid if your life was the cost
Now you're hopelessly chained to the corner of your room
And your shackles are your weaknesses, you never made it through
You never made it through
Oh, oh, ooh

Get up and go, you lost control of what you held so close
Can't cover up yourself
And I can no longer help
Just get up and go
Nobody else will ever know that you just like to run
But the regret will catch you, it catches everyone
It catches everyone
Ohh
