Ego (Maniac) Lyrics by Defences

Shadowlight

2024

[Verse 1: Cherry Duesbury]
Am I any good at this?
I've been doubting myself again
Should I be more poetic?
Or stay realistic
I got myself thinking
[Pre-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Is there any point of it?
All these great whites
I'm a little fish and I
Can't help but be in my own head
It's just where I live
It's just where she lives
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Pierced the skin
Creeping in
Feel the curse
Closing in
Like a secret you wish you'd never kept
Leaving you
Colder, looking over your shoulder
Coarser, edges are rough
Part of you you wish you'd never met
But you ain't seen nothing yet
[Post-Chorus: William Alex Young]
No you ain't seen nothing yet
[Verse 2: Cherry Duesbury]
You always look away (Always look away)
Overcome by the truth you're facing
In the dark I'll stay (In the dark I'll stay)
Always waiting, waiting in shadowlight (Shadowlight)
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Pierced the skin
Creeping in
Feel the curse closing in
Like a secret you wish you'd never kept
Leaving you
Colder, looking over your shoulder
Coarser, edges are rough
Part of you you wish you'd never met
But you ain't seen nothing yet
[Post-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
No you ain't seen nothing yet
No you ain't seen nothing yet
[Breakdown: William Alex Young]
No escape, I'm making you take
No escape, I'm making you take
No escape, I'm making you take
A look in the mirror to face your mistake
No escape
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Pierced the skin
Creeping in
Feel the curse
Closing in
Like a secret you wish you'd never kept
Leaving you
Colder, looking over your shoulder
Coarser, edges are rough
Part of you you wish you'd never met
But you ain't seen nothing yet
