1. SHADOWS

I’m choking up again
Tell me friend, when do shadows end
I can’t see over them, wondering
When the mind gives in
I have unhealthy attractions
To the pain that never mends
If I could write the light a single note
it’d say “when do shadows end?”

Straining voices they hear it all
Next in line can you fix it all
Shove a pill down my throat and say
Have another beautiful day


I’m choking up again
Tell me friend, when do shadows end
I can’t see over them, wondering
When the mind gives in
I have unhealthy attractions
To the pain that never mends
If I could write the light a single note
it’d say “when do shadows end?”


Put me in a room with a silver tray
Smile and nod, then turn away
Tell me everything is in my head
Fuck your pills I spit em out instead

I’m choking up again
Tell me friend, when do shadows end
I can’t see over them, wondering
When the mind gives in
I have unhealthy attractions
To the pain that never mends
If I could write the light a single note
it’d say “when do shadows end?”


Bottom of the bottle
Fall to dark but show the light of day
I wouldn’t have it any other way


I’m choking up again
Tell me friend, when do shadows end
I can’t see over them, wondering
When the mind gives in
I have unhealthy attractions
To the pain that never mends
If I could write the light a single note
it’d say “when do shadows end?”
