oh, shadow

Oh shadow, why do you follow me What have I done? I know how I made you be I don't see this earth a home, I am just a seed Release it all to God, you are make believe Young and powerful Weaving lives of golden tapestry Strung out as the hour cools The heat from the fantasies Instead of running from something, I'm running to you Instead of me slumming in nothing, I've got something to prove Instead of dreaming and numbing, I'm running right through What's the meaning in loving? I've got nothing to lose Where'd you go? Where's my mind? A backdoor, creep outside Through the fields, in the streets Lost souls shuffling our feet On the side of the road In the weeds and the snow Nights spent lying awake Praying sail me away The way this life takes The way this life breaks Nothing stops me from loving you The way the earth quake The way the soul shake Nothing stops us from pulling through Instead of running from something, I'm running to you Instead of me slumming in nothing, I've got something to prove instead of dreaming and numbing I'm running right through The meaning; I ain't leaving you wanting I've got nothing to lose Oh shadow, Why do you call on me What have I said? I know how I made you be But I wanna feel at home in the company Give it everything I have 'til I feel it free Till I feel it free Instead of running from something, I'm running to you Instead of me slumming in nothing, I've got something to prove Instead of leaving and judging were running into The meaning; I ain't leaving you wanting I've got nothing to lose
