Shadowboxing Lyrics by Cardiknox

Portrait

2016

[Verse 1]
I've been floating through a tidal wave full of heartache
I've been carrying the weight of the world 'til my back breaks
I've been drowning out the voices but they're calling my name
I've been running from the demons, but the feelings are haunting me

[Chorus]
I'm fighting someone, but no one's there
I'm throwing punches into the air
I'm shadowboxing
Seeing is believing
Shadowboxing
Living with the leaving

[Verse 2]
Everything that was shiny once has turned to rust
I remember when the words left your lips and the blood rush
I've given everything I've got, but is it ever enough?
It was more than I imagined, you made everything feel magic
But the smoke finally cleared and it was you that disappeared

[Chorus]
I'm fighting someone, but no one's there
I'm throwing punches into the air
I'm shadowboxing
Seeing is believing
Shadowboxing
Living with the leaving

[Bridge]
I'm aching, I'm shaking
I'm crawling from the wreckage in awe
I'm grinding down my jaw
My shoulder blades are raw

[Chorus]
I'm fighting someone, but no one's there
I'm throwing punches into the air
I'm shadowboxing
Seeing is believing
Shadowboxing
Living with the leaving
I'm fighting someone, but no one's there
I'm throwing punches into the air
I'm shadowboxing
Seeing is believing
Shadowboxing
Living with the leaving
