Shadowboxing Lyrics

you talk sweet

you work hard for the money

you play clean, no one likes a dirty cheat

the rags dry, the bell rings

you’re alright, your life slips

you told me

if there’s a curse, must’ve caught it

like your blue eyes, or my bad teeth

more to thank from the family

you’re smart though, and I’m quick

I hope you don't figure out the way I did

and when you do

I won’t stop you but I’ll try

a cold call, long dream

tough love, loud scream

rat race, no sleep

disgust and entertainment

shadowboxing

your lost voice

and I wonder

why is everything a clue?

put together to

play out differently

days you spent here

you know out of luck

like I know out of luck

now I guess it’s just caught up on us

they’re talking

while I’m just waiting for the hit

and I get stuck when I think of

the space it takes from is and is not

a lifetime, or a bookmark

a footprint, or a bad score

advice from a billboard

I only believed in part

shattered and chasing

a promise, you can't break it

like love and it’s losses

the sand I twist down thinking

why is everything a clue?

put together to

play out differently

days you spent here

you know out of luck

like I know out of luck

now I guess it’s just caught up on us
