Shadows Lyrics by Early Adopted

No Thank You, Myla

2006

[Intro]
(I'm walking back right)
(Mind you I can't feel fucking shit)
(Yeah)

[Chorus:]
When The Shadows Born Blackness
When The colors gone Absence
Before its dark before, before too long
You Will Become your only friend, frightening isn't it?

[Verse 1: Early Adopted]
Is it possible to plateau and never peek?
In a shako taking a nap, leave me in my dreams
Over slept today just to deal a little less with meneed a break, from myself; so does everybody else
Same store moms caught me stealing a cap gun
Razor-blade replacements I'm still the same bad son

High by myself
Back to that again
Zoned out shadow puppet shows in the halogen
Monster in the ceiling features; don’t think I imagined it
Woke up in the attic been years sense someone accessed it
Don’t trust myself when I say that I am in control
I am more afraid of me then anyone else I know

[Chorus:]
(Looking at people shifty guaranteed)
(You won't forget the day, you made eye contact with me)
(where am I going)
When The Shadows Born Blackness
When The colors gone Absence
Before its dark before, before too long
You Will Become your only friend, frightening isn't it?

[Verse 2: Early Adopted]
Sat myself in the bathtub with the shower on
Drunk till my skin pruned, don’t know how long its been on
Pulled my own hair back, as if I had been vomiting
Sickened that he never did, scary kind of tolerance
Withering away first time seeing my cheek bones

Too this day she claims she could see my soul
Made a conscious effort to not fall in love with you
'cus I've fallen for similar offers in the past; they all fell through (true)

Its not you, its them
Its not me, I know
It was certainly, but sense then I have grown
I became so cold as an outcome;
I'd come and till you sorry, but I don’t go out much

[Chorus:]
(Looking at people shifty; guaranteed)
(You won't forget the day, you made eye contact with me)
(you ruined your fucking life)
When The Shadows Born Blackness
When The colors gone Absence
Before its dark before, before too long
You Will Become your only friend, frightening isn't it?

[Verse 3: Early Adopted]
Apartments a mess
Credit card marks in the desk
Marking a beat only certain people can spot what it is
Ignorance is not bliss, but this is as good as it gets
Be happy you don’t have to deal with knowing what's wrong in your head;
And never fixing it
Assuming most people do
Said that I'm an outsider, I'm starting to believe that its true
I made several spare keys about four or five
But I locked them all away inside
As if this is secretly what I wanted; subconsciously in love with the horror
Happiness isn't nearly as poetic as trauma
Prey for me? Ain't enough beads on a rosary
Friends still deciding if it was nice knowing me

[Chorus:]
(Looking at people shifty; guaranteed)
(You won't forget the day, you made eye contact with me)
When The Shadows Born Blackness
When The colors gone Absence
Before its dark before, before too long
You Will Become your only friend, frightening isn't it?
