Shadow Lyrics by Thomas Frederick

Archive

0

[Verse 1]
Drifting like a ghost
Is always 'cause I'm losing the war
And I don't mean to boast
But loneliness won't haunt me anymore

[Pre-Chorus 1]
So if I must accept my fate
Well then the shipwreck shall be gone
And if I always have to wait
I don't know how I'll carry on

[Chorus]
I am hiding in the shadows
I'm giddy at the thought of avoiding the fight
'Cause I am nothing but a shadow
So all I really am is this absence of light

You can try to take me away with you
But I'll slip straight through your fingers
My life is better alone, it's true
But the bitterness still lingers, still lingers

[Verse 2]
Drifting to the coast
Would just be foolish 'cause I surely drown
But what would hurt me most
Woud be pretending that I'm not breaking down

[Pre-Chorus 2]
It will only take a second
For me to vanish into dust
You know there's no need to be threatened
Because my exit is a must

[Chorus]
I am hiding in the shadows
I'm giddy at the thought of avoiding the fight
'Cause I am nothing but a shadow
So all I really am is this absence of light

You can try to take me away with you
But I'll slip straight through your fingers
My life is better alone, it's true
But the bitterness still lingers, still lingers

[Post-Chorus]
Dancing like a shadow
Floating like a ghost
I'll never show my face again
Swimming always shallow
Wash up on the coast
Invisible until the end

[Bridge]
When will I step out of the darkness?
Never by the look of things
And I could act like life is harmless
But what about the trouble it brings?

Oh nothing is as dumb as this
And maybe it's a deadly kiss
But I am sure I won't be missed
So why keep trying?
And I don't think it's worth the risk
To try to fight or to resist
And why should I persist
When I could just be dying?

[Chorus]
I am hiding in the shadows
I'm giddy at the thought of avoiding the fight
'Cause I am nothing but a shadow
So all I really am is this absence of light

You can try to take me away with you
But I'll slip straight through your fingers
My life is better alone, it's true
But the bitterness still lingers, still lingers

[Post-Chorus]
Dancing like a shadow
Floating like a ghost
I'll never show my face again
Swimming always shallow
Wash up on the coast
Invisible until the end

Hiding in the shadows
Disappear to most
I'l never walk outside again
Nothing else but callow
Waving adios
If only I could express
But when?
But when?
