In The Shadows

In the shadows

We fight our battles

And I'll be right there

With a song to move the air

And we're all so damn young

We've just begun

In the shadows

Hang the gallows

And how have we not learned?

These memories been burned

But they'll all come around

If at last, in the ground

In the shadows

We see patterns

And I know that we need them

And we need time to grieve them

Time to weave them

Into the stars

Who know who we are

In the shadows...

I came upon a reply

At first I doubted my eyes

But now I see it

It started on my outside

But much to my delight

I began to feel it

I'm real and

I'm here

I can unwind

From the confines of time

If I listen

To what I've been missin'

If I can be frank

I've got music to thank

For opening the doorway

Now what do I say?

What if The Truth

Has a real mean sweet tooth

And all she wants is a lullaby?

As we look to dark skies, friends

With those big dewy eyes, and

We can let fly our cries when

We bid bye to the whys then

Maybe we'll find them

In the shadows, in the shadows...

In the shadows

We don't matter

In darkness, all is one

With much work to be done

I pray I have the strength

To give thanks, while I'm still young

In the shadows

We see patterns

And I know that we need them

And we need time to grieve them

Time to weave them

Into the stars

Who know who we are

Who knows who we are?
