Shadows Lyrics

What up with the good folks

Take a note, quite a

Consequential series of words

A wide appeal to self-sufficiency

Don't know when your

Eyes are being deceived

For every cause, a remedy

The dark night dissolved

In plain sight, you see

A new dawn is breaking new light

Sidestep, drag those shadows up to me

A sight to behold, a pledge to behave

You've always been told

It's not your time today

We cater to those we always obey

Because it's all that we know, we act in good fate

For every draw, every compromise

A pat on your back, they'll give

You a dime for your thoughts

They come at a cost, they're not free

Sidestep, drag that shadow up to me

A sight to behold

Or you'll never know

Bloodstream, headrush

What makes your cheecks blush

What lemons to make into lemonade

If this is how it is, if this is how it goes

They say a rising tide lifts all boats, but

The doors remain shut for some

Some are meant for more

Depending how you ask for it, I suppose

I should let it stand beneath

The contempt one could have

For someone shying away from the animal

In a room where the band plays

Nothing but shallow tunes

Hm hm hm

I hum to calm my nerves

From the stories unheard

Attempts to cause a stir

Attempts to course-correct

Recognised as a threat

Making sure to remind us

Don't stop dragging those shadows

Even though it's a dangerous bet

Different time different place

I could hear people say

Don't stop, keep dragging those shadows

A sight to behold

Or you'll never know

The orchestral sound

That crushes the silence

That leads in the luminous wave
