Shadow Lyrics by Triillbert

23II

2019

[Verse 1:]
I know things change, with the older we get
But there’s still a lot of things we could never forget
I used to think about this all of the time
Remember senior year, on the offensive line
Yeah, that one season, where we lost nine games
But we got so fucking close, so I guess that’s okay
Tore my ACL, and I was out for the year
Was your first season and my last one with the Steers
Introduced you to my friends, the ones that you couldn’t find
We were chill, brothers, buddies, you were one of the guys
When we used to go eat Dragon and we saw Jolene
And we living life happy, like it’s all from a dream
But it came crashing down, like the Hindenburg
Just ghosted us all without even saying a word
Now, that right there, my friend, is what we call a snake
And that right there, my friend, I just can’t tolerate

[Hook:]
Time flies over us, but it leaves the shadow behind

[Verse 2:]
Haven’t seen each other, and I don’t understand it
Talking in the parking lot, just you, me and Brandon
I said let’s hang, have a chat, grab a bite
Said you had to go to bed on a Friday night
At 9:30, now what the fuck is the deal
I’m just being really blunt, cuz I’m just keeping it real
I’m about to lose my temper, remember that one December
When I lost my fucking marbles, cuz my heart was fucking tender
About to happen again, about to have a relapse
They telling me to relax, but not until you see that
You left us hanging in the cold, this petty shit is getting old
You doing this and doing that, ain’t no one else been getting told
I was first to see it, these niggas thought I was crazy
Cuz I had already noticed that you had been acting shady
You’ve become a fucking snake, without a rattle
You used to be my nigga, now you’re just a fucking shadow

[Hook:]
Time flies over us, but it leaves the shadow behind

[Verse 3:]
Not even a quick text to check and see if we’re fine
Or even just to have a conversation, clearing our minds
Sometimes I blame you for us drifting apart
For a number of reasons, I don’t know where to start
Like come on, dawg, you know that this isn’t like you
Cutting off your closest friends and acting all brand new
You had some things going on, that’s fine, man I get it
But you should stop and listen to these words for a minute
Cuz dude, you’re really being a pain in the ass
Remember hanging out with me, Morgan and Cas?
Brandon, Danielle, Michael, and Blackshear, too?
Even for a little bit at college last year, too
I know you chose a different path, doing different things and such
But I don’t know how much it would hurt for you just to keep in touch
I know you’re probably thinking you’re just living your life
But I just feel like deep inside, you know you’re living a lie
