Shadow Life
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.
A shadow life
Will only break your heart
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark
I knowing you're living in a shadow life
Better watch your step
Should you stumble
You're gonna fall
'Cause dirty secrets are the killing kind
Rope around your neck
It's a wonder
You breathe at all
You turn a blind eye and I hold on
You're a fool will it ever change?
Why can't you ever see?
The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark
I can feel it when you're under me
There is something else
There's something I can't let go
Never silence to the misery
Feel it in your sex
Every time that we're all alone
And still you just deny it all
But I cant take this anymore
But I can't turn away
The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark
It's coming
It's coming
It haunts us and tears us apart
Just like a shadow in the dark
Just like a shadow in the dark
You're a shadow in the dark
The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark
I feel it when you're under me
There's a dirty secret to this misery yeah
The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like a shadow in the dark
You're a shadow in the dark
It steals the light
And tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark
I feel it when you're under me
There's a dirty secret to this misery yeah
The shadow life
Will only break your heart
Like a shadow in the dark
You're a shadow in the dark
