Shake Lyrics by ​pHoenix Pagliacci

Dichotomy

2024

[Verse 1]
I wanna talk about how much I’m a mess
Sometimes I think about my burial dress
No I ain't lived the worst life, not by far
I have a man, house and car
In my own right I’m a star

[Chorus]
But I can’t shake this dark cloud over me
(Shake, shake) it just won't let me be
(Great, shake) and I don’t wanna die but I can’t wait to be free (Wait)

[Verse 2]
Sometimes I’m up, sun is shining all around
But my head is hung and tears are pouring down
Everybody wants me to be a happy clown
But they can’t see through my frown
I wanna turn it around

[Chorus]
But I can’t shake this dark cloud over me
(Shake, shake) it just won't let me be
(Great, shake) and I don’t wanna die but I can’t wait to be free
(Wait)

[Bridge]
Oh, you gotta understand, it takes so much energy
To be the me I want, and to be the me you need
So please know, if I go
That I’m no longer in pain
I’m sure I’ll see you again

[Chorus]
But I can’t shake this dark cloud over me
(Shake, shake) it just won't let me be
(Great, shake) and I don’t wanna die but I can’t wait to be free (x2)
