Shades Lyrics

Walking on the line

I'm running late

I'm running out

And I lose my place

If I look down

Zip locked in an

Artificial state

To calm the doubt

Falling into place

And falling out

Just hold me close

When all I want is to go

Just let me know

There's more to me than a ghost

I'm caught in between

Those plans that never worked out right

And my broken hands

That try to block out the sunlight

Where's the color

Where's the value in my frame?

Floating through the week

Nothing ever seems to change

But I was cold

I was indifferent

Before you

I've been whipping the blame

Around an empty room

Only now I see

It never was about you

The drugs kick in

The truth is coming out

That I'm the only one

That wants to keep me down

I spent the winter

Planting seeds in the gloom

And I spent the spring

Waiting for flowers to bloom

Now I smell roses

Thorns are stuck in my side

Both things let me know

I'm all right

I spent a decade

With my head underground

Ten years of trying to shut everyone out

The shades are changing

But I still have my doubts

Am I losing a step

Or am I just coming down

Just hold me close

When all I want is to go

Just let me know

There's more to me than a ghost

I'm caught in between

Those plans that never worked out right

And my broken hands

That try to block out the sunlight
