Shadows Lyrics by Matthew Picciotto

2019

[Chorus]
Who’s in the shadows?
Who’s ready to play?
Are we the hunters?
Or are we the prey?
Verse 1:
Coming back to haunt me, huh? Really tryna taunt me, bruh?
Well I guess so, it’s like you just want to say that you got me, duh
‘Cause everytime I think I got rid of ya, made a bid with ya
To never come in contact with me again, you just visit once-
Or twice more. When will you learn? I said bye four times before
But you keep coming back like a cyborg, anything to make this guy sore
“Hi door!” is what I want to hear! Now do me a favor, and just disappеar
And no, this ain’t about someone, I’m writing this one for my prеvious years
Flashbacks ain’t abstract, that’s the worst thing of it all
Can’t even pick up the pace, when I keep on dropping the ball
My life is coming up and down just like a walk in the mall
So can you get me some meds to make these mistakes just withdrawal?
It’s basically just a brawl, and not the type that is breezy
There’s no point to being sneaky, when I can’t win this easy
‘Cause in the end of it all, those memories will come back to me
Until all I can feel is nothing but the unwanted agony
[Chorus]
Who’s in the shadows?
Who’s ready to play?
Are we the hunters?
Or are we the prey?
Who’s in the shadows?
Who’s ready to play?
Are we the hunters?
Or are we the prey?
[Verse 2]
Whoever you are, wherever you are, you might understand
Everyone fucks up ‘til we all shut up before it gets out of hand
Nobody is perfect, yeah, I already know that
But it’s like I can never get where I wanna go, since I’ll never stop living in the past
It’s so damn painful to carry a handful of shameful-
Memories, the weight’s disgraceful to cradle
Distasteful actions I made, I’d pay to back them away
‘Cause whenever they come to mind, I wanna be like a train and slam on the breaks
But maybe I deserve this
Maybe this is revenge for making errors everytime and tryna swerve this
It’s just worthless being in this situation
Get this PTSD erased, and I can get back to basics
But it’s a black hole of tragic events I’m trapped in
Until I’m overshadowed by these battles I can’t scrap with
I’d say sorry a thousand times ‘til I go loco and fall
But apologies can’t fix all the damage that I’ve done to you all
[Chorus]
Who’s in the shadows?
Who’s ready to play?
Are we the hunters?
Or are we the prey?
Who’s in the shadows?
Who’s ready to play?
Are we the hunters?
Or are we the prey?
