From the shadows Lyrics by Fireflake

Lipsync

0

[Verse 1]
The last time you were sleeping
Did you find yourself to wake -
With your heartbeat steady beating
In the middle of the bed?

Did you dream of something awful
Or maybe something nice
But you got this funny feeling
That has made you thinking twice?

What if all the fears you had before
Where true because the line
Between what's real and what is not
Gets thinner all the time?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sshhhh
As the last corn of the hour glass
Drops on the pile of sand
The hands of all the clocks around
Slow down until they stand

At 1 past 12 it is too late
The signs have been misread
And still they tell you everyday:
"It's all just in your head!"

[Chorus 1]
You gotta move on - for the things to come
Times change overnight - all that you knew is gone
You wouldn't have believed me if i told so -
The signs were everywhere, from here to Tokyo

You locked yourself up in that room of yours
You never left your home except at noon of course -
When not one soul was there to give you a hint anyhow
That change is not just coming, change is here and now

[Bridge 1]
Can you hear the change coming?
It's me knocking right at your front door!
Open up or I'll run it down - the doors are cracking

Ha, I'm in can't believe how long it took, how long it's been!
You don't remember me - that's cause I'm like a shark -
I've been watching from the shadows, waiting in the dark

[Verse 2]
So close - I was just like a friend
Don't you remember me?
All the times you feared that someone's
In your closet - that was me!

I'm sure you heard me in your room
The noises made you mad!
As I was scratching on the walls -
Hidden under your bed

I was the voice that called to you
On all those foggy nights -
When you saw my shadow running from
The cones of all the lights

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Sshhhh
So many times you felt me there
But didn't comprehend -
That I did try to warn you
That this time has seen its end

A new era has begun
A new order is in place
And now you have to stand
With all your demons face to face

[Chorus 2]
You gotta move on - for the things to come
Times change overnight - all that you knew is gone
You wouldn't have believed me if i told so -
The signs were everywhere, from here to Tokyo

You locked yourself up in that room of yours
You never left your home except at noon of course -
When not one soul was there to give you a hint anyhow
That change is not just coming, change is here and now

[Bridge 2]
I'm in your house right now
You can watch it shaking while I start to plough -
Up and down the stairs, here and there
Laying everything to dust as I wreak havoc everywhere!

I'm stirring up your life, it stands askew as Pisa
When I'm done with you what you call hell feels like a freezer
I'm the beginning and the end, pristine like organic cotton
Next time we meet again I'm sure you've already forgotten me

[Chorus 3]
You gotta move on - for the things to come
Times change overnight - all that you knew is gone
You wouldn't have believed me if i told so -
The signs were everywhere, from here to Tokyo

You locked yourself up in that room of yours
You never left your home except at noon of course -
When not one soul was there to give you a hint anyhow
That change is not just coming, change is here and now
