Me and My Shadow

Oh no it happened again
I grew up without a plan
To my friends I thank you for it all
But I’m going down on my own
It gets heavier with age
And I can’t stand the weight
Did I try too hard to get this far?
Or was it luck that made the man
Did I take enough time to enjoy these stars?
Or was it me that made these plans?
Oh no it happened again
I thought that I could still win
To my friends I thank you for it all
But I’m taking punches all alone
It gets heavier with age
And I can’t stand the weight
It’s a question throughout time
Was my life ever mine?

I packed my bag
And I don’t regret it
I’m the one who left
And you won’t forget it
I put this distance between us
I made this distance
I’ve been keeping a secret
A secret all along
I’m never coming back
Never coming back to you
Our relationship is non-existent
It’s been too long and too many miles
But should I fix what’s wrong?
Can I redeem myself before you’re gone?
I’ll say I’m sorry again
But I never know when
I’ll say I’m sorry again
But it’s easier to say nothing
I wish that I’d say something

It’s another afternoon
Of me pushing your goddamn buttons
You won’t be surprised
When I say I’ve done nothing
I’m thrown through the window
Never knew love could hurt again
I’ve shown through my behavior
I’ll probably be back where I have been
Self reflection is something I can’t do
I am a bastard
I’m thrown through the window
Never knew love could hurt again
I’ve shown through my behavior
I’ll probably be back where I have been
What’s wrong with me, has nothing to do with you.
I’m thrown through the window
Never thought love would hurt again

Good boy, you’re playing dead in my arms tonight
Good boy, you won’t move so much when it’s too tight
But it’s casual and I should have known
I couldn’t keep you
Was it rational to think you could have grown?
I shouldn’t think so
You better start running away
You better run before I
Reveal what you’re scared of
You better pick up the pace
You better not pass it by
I wish you’d commit to something
Come on, commit to me
New boy, you’re playing games with my heart tonight
New boy, your words mean less when there is no light
But it’s casual and I should have known
I couldn’t keep you
Was it rational to think you could have grown?
I shouldn’t think so
You better start running away
You better run before I
Reveal what you’re scared of
You better pick up the pace
You better not pass it by
I wish you’d prove your listening
Come on, admit to me
The last thing you’ll hear me say before I throw the match is “BURN”

We made too many mistakes together
I should have seen this coming
I should have known better
I am the clock
I tick away from you
I’ve got to wait my turn
For you to give me what I need
I’m begging for more
Just put your violence in me
With our hands bloody and worn
Trying to build with all of this silt
Keeping our eyes at the floor
Making patterns in milk
I am the clock
I tick away from you
I’ve got to wait my turn
For you to give me what I need
I’m begging for more
Just put your violence in me
I am the clock
I tick away from you

You call me a ghost
As I drifted away
And I can’t answer the phone
Not if I choose to stay
In the time that I can
Pretend this will all end
We’ll hear hope in our throats
That will dance on the wind
As you’ve moved, I’ve lost my breath
Can we breathe in this open air?

I can’t respect you
Enough to let you upset me
How do we take the time we lost
And forgive each other for what was a failure?
Playing nice is keeping us apart
At arm lengths from another war
The dark is where you like to prey
And the dark is where you’ll have to stay
Does a song not carry enough weight
To break the bones you barely stand on?
Meet me out back
And lie to me
Until you feel you look better
Call me worthless
I deserve it
Call me worthless
Can we talk this out?
Out went the light
But we shone bright
We’ll burden by sleep
As we retreat into our dreams
I can’t respect you
Enough to let you upset me

I’m ready to go when you say so
Please make sure I’m going alone
Take me to space and leave me there
So I can catch my breath
Here in the cold
Is where I belong
I’ll make this my home
And I float
So do my regrets
And I know
I’ll start to forget
And I hope
I know how to let
It go
Who fucking cares?
Take me to space and leave me there
So I can catch my breath
Here in the cold
Is where I belong
I’ll make this my home
Abort the mission
Things are critical
I may want to hold on
But I as I realize
I love here it here in the cold
God won’t see me float
God won’t see me
