Wilderman Lyrics by Toby Johnson

Shapes in Shadows - EP

2016

[Verse 1]
My brother and I, build dens at night
Out in the pines grew thicker over time
We took our turns
And we learnt to love our little minds

[Verse 2]
We walked into the wilderness
Bearing the courage of the Wilderman
They hide in the night in the trees
With silhouette figures

[Verse 3]
Shapes and shadows they start to surround
We shine our torches and made monsters with our hands
We weren't afraid because we taught them how to dance
You're so blind to our way of life

[Chorus]
Oh carry on your heavy load
Oh is life a burden on your backbones
If so take control, and build a hill beneath your home
Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope
If the lines upon your hands, predict this soul
Why are we waiting, why are we wasting time

[Verse 4]
My brother and I, we used our minds
We set up traps to catch the beasts before they bite
They come from under
And they try to take you from your life

[Verse 5]
We followed footprints, down to the lake
We lost the scent, two shadows cast from outer space
We passed our curfew
But we knew the Wilderman would wait

[Verse 6]
Strength in numbers we formed our parade
Over the hilltop and we found them in a cave
We didn't fight because we taught them to behave
You're so blind when you close your eyes

[Chorus]
Oh follow us into the unknown
Oh are you wild or do you walk alone
If so take control, and build a hill beneath your home
Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope
If the lines upon your hands, predict this soul
Why are we waiting, why are we wasting time

[Verse 7]
Further and further watch them run
We proved your wrong, we proved you wrong
You lived each day in your cowardly ways
You lived each day to deliver me pain

[Chorus]
Oh carry on your heavy load
Oh is life a burden on your backbones
If so take control, and build a hill beneath your home
Where the gravity is weaker and the stars give you hope
If the lines upon your hands, predict this soul
Why are we waiting, why are we wasting time
