Shade

When I tried to tell you Tell you how I feel You looked at me Like sunlight through your shades You watered down my colors To keep me in the dark But lately I've Been seeing brighter days There's oil in your water You can't seem to douse the flames The memory of me still haunts your mind Cause I know all your secrets All your guilt and all the shame The fire's gonna burn you over time Embers rise and ashes fall The smoke is in the room Your sunglasses won't save you now You better find the light real soon Embers rise and ashes fall The smoke is in the room Your sunglasses won't save you now You better find the light real soon Your charm is an illusion For the emptiness inside The void won't fill While you just stay the same You say you want four quarters more Than a hundred penny friends If I were you I'd start counting my change You're desperate for affection But you're still too blind to see That we all reap the seeds that we have sown And karma's on a rampage You won't get no sympathy It's time to face the weeds that you have grown Embers rise and ashes fall The smoke is in the room Your sunglasses won't save you now You better find the light real soon Embers rise and ashes fall The smoke is in the room Your sunglasses won't save you now You better find the light real soon Your fabricated ego Has gotten out of hand You cry because your daddy Never made you man You reach for validation Your day will never come Keep telling all those stories Bout things you've never done You held me hostage when I Just tried to compensate Your lack of honor resides In hollow words you say I broke down walls like a coal miner With a bill to pay You thought I'd never leave but I signed no lease to stay You wonder why you're always all by yourself You dug yourself a grave Your personal hell All of the snow in the world won't set you free You lost your last Hail Mary When you lost me Embers rise and ashes fall The smoke is in the room Your sunglasses won't save you now You better find the light real soon Embers rise and ashes fall The smoke is in the room Your sunglasses won't save you now You better find the light real soon
