shadow Lyrics

all i know is uphill battles

i travel

im no hired gun

I used to be cracked like marble

now i stand taller

close to the sun

cause i used to hide in shadows

now the same ones fight my battles

journey to the life i promised

heart as my compass

standing on the grave i dug

for the shadow i was

pity hurt worse

than the pain

guess thats how the world works

bottom of the ranks

hit me with a lethal

strike to know

that im rising

gold on the horizon

i been breaking

all the rules they taught me

yeah i got a newfound hobby

level up my body

finally swimming out the shallows

lit this fire inside me but only for the night

even the shadows need light

cause all i know is

all i know is uphill battles

i travel

im no hired gun

I used to be cracked like marble

now i stand taller

close to the sun

cause i used to hide in shadows

now the same ones fight my battles

journey to the life i promised

heart as my compass

standing on the grave i dug

for the shadow i was

pity hurt worse

than the pain

guess thats how the world works

bottom of the ranks

hit me with a lethal

strike to know

that im rising

gold on the horizon

i been breaking

got a shadow of myself tucked under the bed

but they wanted a chalk outline instead

so now im levels past my best

i know that

the code that i cracked

just a drop in the bucket

got the strings off the puppet

water serpent i slayed

keep the fang when i cut it

got the power i covet

turn the tables i love it

had to reach this peak

to see above it

all i know is uphill battles

i travel

im no hired gun

I used to be cracked like marble

now i stand taller

close to the sun

cause i used to hide in shadows

now the same ones fight my battles

journey to the life i promised

heart as my compass

standing on the grave i dug

for the shadow i was

pity hurt worse

than the pain

guess thats how the world works

bottom of the ranks

hit me with a lethal

strike to know

that im rising

gold on the horizon

i been breaking
