The Seeker + the Shadow Lyrics

Books from floor to ceiling

They cover me like a tent

That one just said something

But if I pull it

The tent will come down

I knew I never felt like I belonged

But hearing this from you, it feels wrong

My other half, don't leave me stranded

I know I'm changing but i can't handle it

That book

It's that book

It's opening

It's telling me that I'm not who I was to be

I've a job to Seek

I'd like to erase the image of your silhouette

Run away from what I know

All of your teachings

Suppress your thoughts that are speaking to me

I will not care, should you disagree

Oh, and if you talk too much I will cut you off

Allow myself to speak, oh

Oh no, it's not a phase

Take me to that place

There is more to this race

I'm told to seek this place of those who cry

Those who mourn and those who fly

Their hollow center displays the color of their mind

(A hollow center is the color of the mind)

While there are no breaks in life, I must live in disguise

Lie to those I've come to like

Illuminating with the color of their minds

Shadows living unfulfilling lives

I want it to be my life

I want it to be my life

There's no use in shame

It's always gotten in the way

There's no use in shame

It's always gotten in the way

There's no use in shame

It's always gotten in the way

There's no use in shame

It's always gettin in the way

There's no use in shame

It's always gotten in the way

There's no use in Shame

Will it ever fade away?
