Lyrics
Shadows
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Pour yourself another drink
Light a cigarette and let the smoke hide you
Medicate the pain away
Live to see another day
Sleep the whole night through
Your secret
Just feed it
God knows how much you need it
Why you gotta hide
Why you gotta hide?
Why you gotta run?
Whatcha gotta lose
Whatcha gotta lose?
When all is said and done
Why you gotta pray?
What's it gonna take for you to be someone?
Everybody knows
Your shadows
You're gone when the light goes (when the light goes)
Kiss yourself another stranger
Cause you know you love the danger
Don't you?
Give yourself to someone new
Every night is what you do
Your secret
Just feed it
God knows how much you need it
Why you gotta hide
Why you gotta hide?
Why you gotta run?
Whatcha gotta lose
Whatcha gotta lose?
When all is said and done
Why you gotta pray?
What's it gonna take for you to be someone?
Everybody knows
Your shadows
You're gone when the light goes (when the light goes)
