Behind the Shadows

 Behind the Shadows

Be your best

Don’t fuck it up

Was all I ever was told

But like life

Cosmically laughed

And I did everything wrong 

I tried

To live right 

Not to screw up

And stand up right 

But you don’t

You don’t 

Know.  

What’s behind the shadows 

The truth in the lies 

Joy that lead to tears

And how it burns how it hurts 

Walk the line

Just don’t stumble 

I won’t be saved on my face 

Luckily 

I got chances

More than I ever deserved 

I want

To say that

I’m sorry for

My everything 

But you don’t

You don’t 

Know.  

What’s behind the shadows 

The truth in the lies 

Joy that lead to tears

And how it burns how it hurts 

One day

In another time 

I’ll shed this skin

And let the world in

But I can’t do it today 

I’d hurt more than I’d heal

Myself, the truth isn’t worth that 

This isn’t show and tell

You can always guess

All you want 

But you don’t

You don’t 

Know.  

What’s behind the shadows 

The truth in the lies 

Joy that lead to tears

And how it burns how it hurts
