Shadows Lyrics by Roderick Porter

2018

[Intro]
(I don't wanna do any cuts so I'm just gonna'... do this in one take)

[Verse 1]
Recently I been contemplating if imma' make it
Come home and dance with demons I keep locked up in my basement
My heart is vacant, found the edge and right now I'm just pacing
Cause' I don't like this place, I'd rather sleep til' times erasing
And I make music for the clinically depressed, I guess I'm stressed
I got too much weight up on my chest
And, people tell me problems bout' their slipping mental health
How the fuck I'm sposed' to help you? I can't even help myself

I can't even help myself
How the fuck I'm sposed' to help you? I can't even help myself (nah)
And I can't even help myself
How the fuck I'm sposed' to help you?
Ay (yeah)
Ay, ay ay (damn)
Yeah
Ay, ay ay (check)

[Verse 2]
Yeah
And way too many people care about me and that's why I'm here
Couldn't tell em' all of these things because it'd cause em' fear
So I sit and write a song and drink a dozen beer
Hope I fall asleep and wake up in a couple fuckin' years
And I never want you to ever feel the way I'm feeling
I smoke a blunt and get so high I'm walking on the ceiling
My friends and family devastated if I left today (yeah)
I'll bear the wounds just know that I won't ever cause you pain

I won't ever cause you pain (uh)
I'll bear the wounds just know that I won't ever cause you pain (no)
I won't ever cause you pain
I'll bear the wounds just know that I won't ever cause you pain (yeah)

Ay, ay ay
Yeah
Ay, ay ay
Yeah
