lyrics

When'd the going get so rough?
What'd you do to jade and numb your feeling?
Maybe you could make those cuffs break.
When'd you go and get so lost?
What'd it take to make your thoughts stray
To places that'd make your faith fade?
I can see the mess they've made,
I can could go and say it's hopeless,
Taking all the pain and wait to detonate till you blow.

I stick around a sec and see the sun is getting low
It's setting down but I, I think I already know
The creatures crawling and they're crying "Hahahaha,
we'll take you round and flip you upside down inside out"
The shade is shifting swiftly surely it should never slow
It takes you down but I, I think I'm ready to grow
I'm thinking now you're sick and sinking "Ahhhhhh"
I look around, and I, I think I'm ready to goooo

Can't shake the shadow
Don't let it hang where you know
You know it goes where you glow.
This light is shallow
But I can feel it all this time
And and it feels
Like those gallows
Are wearing thin and I'm on my way
as I make my way
Though the blaze
This light it hallows
And I'm amazed at the maze we made

Bridge:
Ahhhh ahh ah ahhhhh

*instrumental*

Chorus 2:
Can't shake the shadow
Don't let it hang where you know
You know it goes where you glow.
This light is shallow
But I can feel it all this time
And and it feels
Like those gallows
Are wearing thin and I'm on my way
as I make my way
Though the blaze
This light it hallows
And I'm amazed at the maze we made.
