Shadow Boxing Lyrics by Naes

Keep Dreaming

2022

(Intro)
Ladies and gentleman
Welcome to tonight's main event
We have the shadow boxing match of the century
In this corner coming in with 20 wins and zero losses, we have Naes' shadow (Ayo)
And in the other corner, we have zero winds and 20 losses Naes (Ayo yo yo)
Ladies and gentlemen this is gonna be a good fight tonight
Grab the popcorn it's gonna be a good one (Yeah yeah)

(Verse 1)
I'm doing circles in my head
Going back and forth from loving life
And wishing I was dead, I can't rеmember wherе I've been
It's crazy cus I'm sober but I'm so alone so as I'm getting closer
To the end, there won't be anyone to remember me then
Yeah so when it's over, know it was just me and my pen, no four-leaf clover
I'm tired of going over hypotheticals in my head
It's some radical thoughts I'm having
I'm being chased by a shadow of a man who doesn't wanna have on
(Doesn't wanna have one)
I don't think I wanna have one

(Verse 2)
I'm, shadow boxing
I'm looking in the mirror
I should have known I'd lose my self-control at the start of every year
Can't fucking face my fears
I let it eat me up inside, I crawl away, I fucking hide
It's only in my head and it would go away if I
Fuck it I think I'm trying
Fucking up I'm losing my mind and it's my shadow that I can't seem to hide from
I don't wanna have one
I wanna knock his ass out
I'd like for him to leave me alone so I could get back now
Back to myself, I've gone off the tracks now
He's choking my ass out
I can only see black now

(Refrain)
Fade, fade
Shadow boxing, fade
Fade fade fade
I'm shadow boxing, fade
I'm shadow boxing
I'm shadow boxing, fade
I'm shadow boxing, fade
Fade fade fade
I'm shadow boxing, fade, fade

(verse 3)
Yeah
I ran myself my fade
Leaving scars on my wrist and legs
I can't cope to save myself
I'm tryna find my way
I may be too far gone it's just the shadow in my place
My problems taken over me, I'm sleeping through the day
And staying up at night like I'm nocturnal in a way
I'm just in my way
Don't look at my chest, I got some scabs that's here to stay
It's fucking up my days
The bags beneath my eyes, and the streaky red lines
Make it look like I'm high, I'm not
Maybe if I died, they'd be shocked
Or maybe not
I'd be lying if I said I didn't have some of those thoughts
Can you blame me for crying
I blame myself for crying
I blame myself for never really trying, anxiety got me feeling like I'm dying
I know I'm more than what I think of myself, he wasn't lying
I thought he was part lion
But lions all have shadows too, and some of them are giant
But shadow boxing in these trying times
Feels like a waste of mine and everybody's time
But if I give up I'll never see the sunshine, yeah

(Outro)
Fade, fade, fade
I'm shadow boxing, fade
Fade
I'm shadow boxing, fade
Fade
I'm shadow boxing, fade

Fade, fade, fade
