lyrics

you know I’ve got a lot of shadows
more than i can count
i just wish you could hear me
without me having to shout

bet theres something in the water
makes me raise my hands
theres just so much that i don’t know
please help me understand

So whisper to me, i can’t
think, i believe, i am
drowning but i see the shore
if wonder and hope could fix
things i’d be done here
no one would fight anymore

i've made a lot of deals with devils
more than i can count
im not quite sure how i got here
or how I’m getting out

shadows laying on the city
look at the skyline
well looking up they’re almost pretty
and almost as dark as mine

shadows will fall over you
everything we know is true
they’ll knock us down, they’ll beat us black and blue
my shadows all walk in my shoes

thank god for all my shadows so i never walk alone
doing time for a crime in my mind is all I’ve known
all these crimes in my mind, if i say I’m fine I’m lying
but I’m not sure what I’ve done, so this might all be for show
do you know who i am? do you know what I’ve done?
all you see is my facade you don’t know I’m on the run
wanted to be a better man, wanted to be a better son
same thing my idol said, thank god I’m not the only one
spent a lot of time wondering when they would come for me
asked a lot of people silently if they would run with me
all i ever wanted was someone to share some time with me
turns out the things that follow you aren’t always the best of company

shadows will fall over you
everything we know is true
they’ll knock us down, they’ll beat us black and blue
my shadows all walk in my shoes

So whisper to me, i can’t
think, i believe, i am
drowning but i see the shore
if wonder and hope could fix
things i’d be done here and
no one would fight anymore

you know I’ve got a lot of shadows
more than i can count
