Casting Shadows Lyrics by Lacy Wilder

Tempest Temple

2021

[Verse 1]
I think I've been asleep too long
I think I've been asleep since June 2000
Hey now, holding on too tight
But suddenly my eyelids bounce
And suddenly my eyes break open
Gasp for air now
I'm blinded by the light
But I don't like the way it's so fluorescent
And I don't like the way it jumps out at me
Casting shadows in the...
[Verse 2]
I think I've been awake too long
I think I've been awake since the sun rose yesterday morning
But now it's going down
So God, if you're awake right now
So God, if you're awake
Send me just one more moment
Slow mе down somehow
'Cause I can't take thе way the time is passing
And I can't take the way it always mocks me
Casting shadows on my life
[Verse 3]
I'm signing on the dotted line
And I can see the vultures circling my future
As it's going by
They've got me working 9 to 5
They've got me in a life I settled for
Surrendered and never satisfied
How can I force my heart out of their talons?
'Cause if I let them get too close
They'll scavenge on the shell of who I am
[Bridge]
And it's killing me
Every second that I've wasted now
Comes back to haunt me
It haunts me, la la la
So give me time to breathe
And let me hear the rhythm I've been drowning out
And let the music keep my heart in time
[Verse 4]
I know I've been asleep too long
And I don't want to wake to find I've lost my chances
And I'm already gone
So catch me if I fall behind
And catch me if the time goes so fast that I falter
And I'm back at square one
'Cause I don't want to waste another second
So I'll be ready when the shadows get me
But they won't get me tonight
