Ade! - Even shadows have shadows lyrics

[verse1] I stand alone Burned every bridge over the troubled water No longer hiding from my personality disorder A stronger tide is coming, I've been running Trying to function fine without my mind Climbing out this f**ing corner I was born a thorn away from the rotten petals A forgotten rebel craft in the absence of heaven's heavy hands To develop an evident level of benevolence So it's probably better I sold my soul to the devil This is a message to anyone I've met that thinks they know me Don't pretend to understand none of the issues that I'm holding I was in a rush to grow up, look Mom no cuts Just a stomach in disgust, and the fear That I might go nuts this year If I don't slow up I'll see you one my way One day this sh**'ll k** me but I guess that it's OK I've lost all faith in a world so full of hate And I don't f**ing love music I just use it to escape I'm caught between wanting to punch someone in the face And putting a bullet in my head to leave the human race Everything takes its toll but there's no tolls I can take I haven't yet found a good reason to be awake Introducing the corroded bones I hide behind my smile I'm angry at the universe for the way she treats me now And keeps me down, stealing all my energy I'm feeling like my enemy, concealing my identity Not dealing with my tendencies I peel the skin and then I squeeze The real imprinted Hansen's disease Not healing in this century, I'm kneeling to the entity Who built this penitentiary, as filthy as a centipede And guiltless in a sense cause he was willing to Just let me bleed, While I wore a game face In 10 years don't check for me I'll be in the same place This planet's just an overpopulated mental hospital Each zombie walk around constitutes another obstacle So here it is, I'm finally coming out my shell All 18 years of my life have been in conflict with myself I'm insecure about every facet of my existence From my addictions, to the condition I choose to live in Who you kidding, I suffer from excess anxiety A product of pollution in African society Stare into my eyes and see the hell that burns inside my mind And I no longer have an ego I can hide behind But I've been fine disregarding my insanity Every form of art isolates you from humanity But it's provoked against being force fed So f** education for a decade and 3 years Of headaches from my peers Cause now I realize I could have learned more on my own They taught me how to know everything except my soul Which is everything I need to grow, everything that keeps me whole Everything that ever meant anything to the ADE So I leave with golden hope To rip the leash that holds my focus But the fact remains the same, I'm still bound by chains It doesn't matter if your chain is 10 feet or 100 feet The fact remains the same, you're still bound by chains [hook] Nothing gets you nowhere But everything gets you somewhere One pair of shoes is great compared to two feet trying to run bare Even shadows have shadows X2 (background voice) [verse2] Silence, is what we all need for a minute Dying is what we want to avoid while we're living Life and trying to make some noise The screams sort of seem like we're crying Reaching towards our dreams, I offer an exhausted sigh And rhyming keeps the posture of my back in fair condition But why in the world do I do this music when so few people listen? Climbing a mountain that might eventually crumble It's a bumpy ride into that light side of life where no one goes Violence saturates our surroundings, my heart is pounding I am one of the strong that noticed the sirens sounding Striving to wake you up, so we can grow to maturity While we're all buying the governments, we're paying from social security Wine and cigarettes promote good life, bad health and tax I am one of the strong, but also in the same trap Exercising my brain Realizing that pain will be arriving If I dive into the cesspool of my mind So I'm rewinding the recorded version of my conscience repeatedly Not easily blinded Nor do I find it hard to ignore you weakling's weep I (by) shine with this terrific, twisted piece of metal Strangely changing climate as they increase the level I said I wouldn't sign sh**, cause I don't want to meet the devil But I lost my mind, and I'm trying to find it in the dimension of space Between ba** and treble Shattered is my existence, in so many pieces I can't count Chatter is the substance that comes from most people's mouth Matter is what you don't to me, he don't to she, we don't to we But hopefully we can gather together and figure out what life's about Patterns, of emotion change shape from different situations Lanterns, shed light on the dark side of imagination Scattered, is good and evil, through various people and areas of the ego But we know we can be peaceful with the right participation Now batters, stay behind the base and get ready for the pitch Rappers mold their soul into plastic and get filthy rich The ladder to paradise is infested with parasites And if you don't ride in the carriage right, you would swear that life's a b**h Yeah i said if you dont ride in the carriage right you would swear that life's a b**h [bridge] Even shadows have shadows X3 So people say I've changed, and it's harder to relate to me Good, I never liked you our friendship was make believe I'm peeling the mask back and revealing the rap that's been Filling my organs drilling short distorted portions Of morbid masochistic torture that unfortunately crafted An interest to orbit my portrait and inflict my image with disorder The minutes get shorter, walls start to close in Feels like the brain is hanging on by one clothespin I've hidden in the darkness for too long I make it look alright but on the inside its so wrong I want life to change but I don't know if it can For a man or machine or whatever the f** I am I stand alone You want to die my life well come and stay in madness's favorite little corner Cause even Shadows have Shadows And my secrets are eating me Eagerly feeding to scream my dreams away But they keep on defeating me (Even shadows have shadows) Welcome to the dusty subconscious of an actor Who murdered his childhood to stop the audience's laughter (Even shadows have shadows) How am I to break free from my fears When I don't like what I see And I can't feel what I hear? (Even shadows have shadows) So don't judge my book by its cover Cause my story's just as f**ed up as any other! [hook]X2 Even shadows have shadows x3
