Shadows
(专辑: Trial By Fire - 2017)
[Joshua Hedley:] Memories of shadows haunt me From the
years when I
was young Things that used to terrify me Are the
things, that I've become [Yelawolf:] There's a
dark moon in the
clouds Misty fog in the
swamp Crickets chirping outside my window The
water it thumps in the
bathroom sink down the
hall The
lights flicker sometimes The
wind is howling, the
dogs are growling way deep in the
pines A
passing car on the
distant road, the
only thing running Nightmares in my sleep, the
Sandman is coming I
see the
ghost in the
red cloak, the
shadows are taking shape The
sound of a
faint voice, lost and full of hate Dry leaves crumble under the
feet of the
reaper The
limbs tap on my window, like the
nails of a
creature Tales of goblins and fairies, a
sacrifice on the
prairie A
murderer that escaped, I'm disillusioned and weary Lightning strikes on the
hill, illuminating the
cabin The
old man on the
porch, evil and quietly laughing Surrounded by demons I'm an angel and they all want me And to this day... [Joshua Hedley:] Memories of shadows haunt me From the
years when I
was young Things that used to terrify me Are the
things, that I've become [Yelawolf:] Cigarette buds, and oil stains on the
dying grass The
smell of the
liquor, rising up from the
broken glass The
crowds of black leather, the
heat from the
engines Motorcycles and goons, bearded men and loud women The
crackling paint, the
old shack with the
swinging light The
heroin needles passing, open in plain sight Ozzy and Black Sabbath, the
vinyl is skipping From the
fight in the
kitchen Blood screaming and kicking Smoke fills up the
sky, gasoline on the
trash heap The
mattress is burning, I
hear it popping and snapping The
rain soaked teddy bear, so heavy I
can't lift it The
flask for the
moonshine, I
watch as they all sip it The
Halloween pumpkin candle, lit with a
Pentagram The
Grandfather clock, with a
broken minute hand Surrounded by thieves, killers, thugs and some junkies And to this day... [Joshua Hedley:] Memories of shadows haunt me From the
years when I
was young Things that used to terrify me Are the
things, that I've become [Yelawolf:] I
throw on my leather jacket, a
collection of biker patches One of them says savage, the
other one Black Sabbath Heavily tatted, barely any skin left, Whiskey bent after twelve, I'm always playing with death Bullet shells in my yard, loaded gun on the
shelf Run the
roads like a
wolf, through the
whole Bible Belt Rattlesnake skin boots, toes up on the
chopper Fifty Harleys behind me, they all ready to slaughter Drunk in front of my sons, drunk in front of my daughter Spit, cuss, and I
yell, it's like a
one-sided quarter 'Cause I'm only heads up, no matter which way you flip it No brake lights in my life, I'm either rich or evicted Committed to my convictions, committed crimes with the
quitters Connected to my religion, the
religion of sinners, Send a
prayer to God, exhaling smoke off the
meth pipe Like puddles reflecting the
ripples echo to next life So here I
am standing just like the
ashes that fell from the
fire A
seed that fell off that poisonous and forgotten flower Became my own nightmare, but now I
think it's charming Especially when... [Joshua Hedley:] Memories of shadows haunt me From the
years when I
was young Things that used to terrify me Are the
things, that I've become [McCrary Sisters:] Bloody bone gon' get you Bloody bone gon' get you Bloody bone gon' get you
