SHADOW THING




I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND MY ROSE WAS SCARLET RED
JUST COULDN’T STOP YOUR VOICE FROM RINGING IN MY HEAD
I REMEMBER EVERY WORD YOU SAID
I GUESS THAT I SHOULD BRUSH YOU OFF
BUT I’LL BLOW YOU UP INSTEAD

BABY YOU EXHAUST ME
YOU’RE TAKING ALL MY ENERGY
YOU’RE FUCKING WITH MY DIGNITY
BABY YOU EXHAUST ME

COLD NIGHT, LASTING AN ETERNITY
BREATHE ICE, FEELING YOU NOT TOUCHING ME
I CHOSE, TO LIE BESIDE A LYING MAN
DOORS CLOSE, I’LL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN
BECAUSE YOU DO THAT SHADOW THING SO WELL

I WANT TO JOURNEY TO A DEEPER, DARKER PLACE
YOU’RE GONNA TAKE ME THERE, I CAN SEE IT IN YOUR FACE
IT WON’T MATTER-THE TIME OF DAY OR PLACE
THEY’LL ALL TRY TO FIND US
BUT WE’LL BE GONE WITHOUT A TRACE

BABY YOU EXHAUST ME
YOU’RE TAKING ALL MY ENERGY
YOU’RE FUCKING WITH MY DIGNITY
BABY YOU EXHAUST ME

BLACK SKIES, CLOSING IN ON BROKEN DREAMS
I’LL TRY, TO HOLD MY TOUNGE AND STOP THE SCREAMS
YOU TURN, A PIERCING GRIN THAT SHATTERS ME
I’VE LEARNED TO KEEP MY MIND OFF DESTINY
BECAUSE YOU DO THAT SHADOW THING SO WELL
