“Shadow”
completed on 11.12.17
you walk with the sunlight bleeding
feel a darkness gushing
look behind just to see
your shadow isn’t following
and you’d like anyone to notice
your existence
and the cuts that you leave
a pain covered only by your sleeve
you can feel your feet stumbling
the struggle worsening
with eyes that cry for anyone to notice
the beauty inside you
(chorus)
i know you feel incomplete
but i’m asking you to tell me
i’m begging you to warn me (that you need saving)
when you’re drowning in defeat
sometimes the light can be too bright
make you beg for moonlight
but if you’d let me in
i’ll steal the pain that’s within
even if I can’t be right beside you
i hope that when you call me
my voice is the arms that wrap around you
so you never feel alone
(chorus)
i know you feel incomplete
but i’m asking you to tell me
i’m begging you to warn me (that you need saving)
’cause i know that you’re worth saving
i’ll be your crutch
i’ll be that soft touch
i’ll take away life’s weight
to see the daylight you can create
i’ll help you find that piece of the past
to allow you to heal
’cause you need to feel
the thrill of life again
