Lyrics
Inner 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.
Something's approaching the shadows of night
but I have no time to stand up and fight
I walk through the streets with no thoughts on my mind
but something's approaching that's not hard to find
It comes from the minds of those that see black
but once turned away it never comes back
what is it now, the stories I hear?
or is it something else, brought out of fear?
It's never the thoughts of those that stand by
instead it's the thoughts of those that pass by
they are the ones that never did care
but likely would leave you just standing there
CHORUS:
I can't put together the puzzle of life
I've got to find something worth my sacrifice
no one knows what it's like to be me
and we'll never know what our shadows can see
Kicking up dust everywhere that I walk
I can't stay on my feet
not looking for pride, I have nothing to hide
your stride won't fit with me
I don't understand why I live this way
I've got to push myself to the edge
looking for light, but the sun won't shine
now I'm standing on the edge of the line
Fighting to believe, can't you give me some trust?
don't you know that's what I need?
hoping I'll shine not turn into rust
your pride turns into greed
Tearing down the walls that were built within
running from the dark of the night
people always stare, but I don't care
and the shadow remains inside
CHORUS
