Chasing Shadows

Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows I only see my shadows In the dark I must admit that they're A work of art And I could try to paint them over With a smile But I say fuck it and I wear my pain In style Gotta get it in my head That I was never innocent And I'm the culprit of my demons If I'm angry I'm the reason Ask myself all the hard questions For the sake of authentic expression I have a dark side full of confessions It's overflowed from all this suppression Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows I never knew my true self was buried about to explode I never knew how badly I needed to chase my shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows I start to see my shadows In the light I must admit it's not A pretty sight And I could try to put up a fight And I know I could run but I couldn't hide I'm the root of all my problems I'm the only one to solve em I'm the warden of my prison I'm the blind one to my vision Ask myself all the hard questions For the sake of authentic expression I have a dark side full of confessions It's overflowed from all this suppression Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows I never knew the extent to which I had to grow I guess I'm glad I decided to chase my shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Getting even closer to the light Then I see there's another battle to left fight And I could turn around and admit my defeat But I will not let my fearful ego deceive I'm the judge of my own trial Drowning in my own denial I'm the monster under my bed The oppressor of my success Ask myself all the hard questions For the sake of authentic expression I have a dark side full of confessions It's overflowed from all this suppression Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows I never saw all the changes that I had to undergo I'm out of breath from chasing all my shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows Chasing shadows, chasing shadows
