Shadowlands Lyrics

Left foot right foot

Now watch out for the right hook

Better hope you read the right book

Aight look

Follow me to the shadow lands

Keep close don't stray take my hand

On your left you'll find

A solitary vine

It snapped in two

It dropped me through

To where the sun don't shine

Let me take you there

To the shadowlands

Oh this shoulda been my grave

The realm where the demons all know my name

The darkness reigned

The sun never came

I shouldered the blame

In the shadowlands

Oh this shoulda ended my life

I gave up on myself so many goddamned times

And yet I awoke

Lo I arise from the shadowlands

(Woah)

Oh it got so bad lemme tell you how it feels

(Mmmmm)

When you're staring at the same picture

Time turns into the same day

It don't fix you

It feels like pressure in your mind

Pressure all the time

Seeping from your head down to your shoulders

Wonder when it's gonna be over

Wonder if you're gonna get older

Just your set back reflex

Automatic defense

Predicated on a thesis

You shit the bed again

Your hopes in pieces

Oh this shoulda been my grave

The realm where the demons all know my name

The darkness reigned

The sun never came

I shouldered the blame

In the shadowlands

Oh this shoulda ended my life

I gave up on myself so many goddamned times

And yet I awoke

Lo I arise from the shadowlands

(Woah)

You don't know how dark it gets until it swallows you

Swallows you

Break free from the shadowlands but they still follow you

Follow you

You don't know how dark it gets until it swallows you

Swallows you

Break free from the shadowlands but they still follow you

Follow you

You don't know how dark it gets until it swallows you

Swallows you

Break free from the shadowlands but they still follow you

Follow you

Shadows recede

Feel the sun on your skin

Light helps you breathe

Out and in and out again

Shadows recede

Find your strength within

Safe to finally see

Where the shadows went

And if they'll come again
