The Noncents - Shadows lyrics

[Verse 1: Detz] I've known you from my first memory Parents saying we were meant to be I told you in my heart there would never be Room for another until the end of me Empty promises I could never keep Nevertheless you spent your energy Making a better me, befriended me Even when I neglected you like an enemy But I was young then I just wanted to play in the sun then This unexpected something, came from nothing Expecting something from me, at just ten Was I to suspend, an abundance of wonderful fun Sweep it under the rug, or worse, throw it in the dust bin? Looking back now, I was wrong You just wanted in the song, just to sing along Not to k** the music, just to be included, to belong I was foolish, bullish, too stupid to loosen my exclusion of you Due these oodles of hubris that grew with exuberance very strong So I went through the motions A boat on the open ocean Emotionless, holding a stethoscope to my chest and hoping I'd open up But every time I spoke it was a promise broken I thought it comical like I was joking but honestly we were choking [Chorus] I wait in the shadows, the shadows As the world turns its back on the sun For tomorrow I'm going to fly west with the fools But by morning my day has begun [Verse 2: Detz] In high school I made amends I confess it messed with my head Because I paid a tenth of the attention That I should have spent when I was 10 I started noticing you were heaven sent No longer hesitant with the intention of having you present even when I was with my friends Then you ended it, or maybe I pretended it was your fault Cause I was questioning with more thoughts On whether my feelings were more false than fact When the fact is it wasn't your loss It was mine, it opened up my eyes, and rid my corneas of more fog I was blind, but I realized I would give my lungs, tongue, thumbs and my pride Just to be by your side So let's go for another ride, on my merry-go-round another time I say sorry a couple dozen times, and you say you never lied [Chorus] (x2) [Bridge: Kake] You don't need this relationship It's a waste, you need to erase it This behavior is the razor shaving you, shaping you Making you think it's your savior You need to escape Cause you're facing a socially endangering mistake that will take first place in the race of your life Then leave you hastily with only disgrace to replace it [Verse 3: Detz] We were doing well until college And I didn't want to acknowledge That we had started growing so apart and I was paying homage to the liquor bottle You were staying honest like the Christian motto And I was distant I know But I was getting sick from spinning in an infinite spiral When I wasn't sitting in cla**, I was at practice And when I wasn't at practice I was scribbling math on a tablet Or pa**ed out on my mattress And who? you? ha you were the back of my pa**ion list Cause I was pa**ionless and that's what left You and me, interactionless But that was all me, you would call me I would always, have an excuse I'm sorry But I was fried like calamari Cause I couldn't achieve, what I wanted to achieve When I couldn't even sleep, eat or breath Without you freaking pleading for me to speak But I didn't see you fighting The uninvited feeling, of an unrequited Love, cause I wasn't humble enough To unbundle these cuffs Everything I had was nothing and it wasn't enough It was tough, not to succumb to some of this utterly dumb stuff That I was wanting to put you under but UGH In actuality you feel bad for me, cause I am weak And I am feeble, and evil and I will never be your equal But you see I'm always going to need you And although I can't precede you When I'm gone I know I'm gonna meet you For the sequel [Chorus] (x2)
