Shadows / Alive Lyrics by Shoelace Swishers

2018

Stay away from me
I've bit the fruit of the forbidden tree
Ain’t nobody listening
I've got nothing but my shadow
I've got nothing but my shadow
Stay away from me
I’ve bit the fruit of the forbidden tree
Ain't nobody listening
I've got nothing but my shadow
I've got nothing but my shadow
I'm just a kid from the TWP
Started making beats and then I made a hit
Then I met a girl who tried to turn my life to shit
So i had to run away to get away from it
My life ain't that sad
Only problem I had was an alcoholic dad
Had to blare my music so I couldn't hear him mad
Man I want to beat that motherfucker so bad
Ran into the woods
In hopes that it left
But I still feel the weight hanging off my chest
Try to get rid of it by following a path
That was laid by the man who wore all black
Promised in the end that we'd be free
Now we at a cliff and we don’t got wings
Telling us to jump like
What the fuck you mean
Then here’s a slip
Now it's time to swing
It’s like trying to run away from your shadows
Only problem is it's attached to your sorrows
So we got to leave
So we can see tomorrow
Come on lets go man we got a better light to follow
We better than this
Going against what we said
What we dissed
Now I'm pissed
Time to rise
For our lives
About to die
Going to fly
Got to try
I'mma go so good bye
Stay away from me
I’ve bit the fruit of the forbidden tree
Ain't nobody listening
I've got nothing but my shadow
I've got nothing but my shadow
Stay away from me
I've bit the fruit of the forbidden tree
Ain't nobody listening
I've got nothing but my shadow
I've got nothing but my shadow
Looking at a red light on Van Dyke
Talking to god about my life
How it don't feel right
Might end it tonight
Rooted inside like a motherfucking parasite
You got to keep going on little soldier
Remember that's what Momma told you
Then we got older
And feelings start to smolder
I wish I would have told her all this shit I didn't wanna say
But I had to runaway (Why'd you have to run away?)
Had to fucking get away (Why'd you have to get away?)
Taking all the pain away
Took it to the hill top
You can see the light of day
You don't know how that shit feels don't tell me that you do
You can't even walk a fucking minute in my shoes
Waking up
Straight up feeling like a hypocrite
Love her so much why the fuck ain't I showing it
Inside it fucking kills me
I know this ain't the real me
The greed just fills me
Crying out loud
I hope nobody hears me
I only had one virtue
I never meant to hurt you
Gates opened up and your light shined through
I'll be a better man but it's only up to you
Only had a mother and brother no other
Pops coming home late always with another
Ain't no cop but he's always undercover
Got a hole in my heart
So I'm feeling like a dolphin
Happening so often
I don't even feel like me
Shit
I'm not even Austin
Stay away from me
I've bit the fruit of the forbidden tree
Ain't nobody listening
I've got nothing but my shadow
I've got nothing but my shadow
Stay away from me
I've bit the fruit of the forbidden tree
Ain't nobody listening
I've got nothing but my shadow
I've got nothing but my shadow
