In The Shadows

Controlling the Chaos in my mind

I keep it moving in the shadows

Where fury and darkness intertwine

I got that dark star misunderstood energy

Always eclipsing all the parts

That I don't want you to see

In the shadows

Alone

Moving in the shadows

Is the only life I've known

From the unknown is a specimen

From a place where it's cold and it's desolate

Don't approach him with no hopes of assessing him

He'll emote when he shows his aggressiveness

So, it's best you never poke or expect a fist

Let me cope. What I broke, you could never fix

I never chose to be pessimist

I'm only positive everything's supposed to be negative

Trauma that I'm keeping inside is feeding my mind

And eating me up; there ain't a crumb it leaving behind

When he grieving, you ain't never gon' see a tear in his eye

So he drowning from within, he would rather breathe in a tide

You would never even know 'cuz he good at keeping it quiet

He would rather feel the pain than appear weak; it's just sheer pride

But he feeling the fire

So he gon' burn it all down to debris in the sky

So, I'm gonna explode! Look at my composure and how it goes

In the moment, I never show it until I blow

And he ferocious and no control of it, like I'm in a psychosis

So, where the dosage? And all the demons that I hold in

Are coming forward and putting forth

All the torture that I've endured. I'm a tornado in the storm

You can board your porch. Unfortunately, for sure

I'm taking out the doors and hard floors

On the rooftops

I cannot say when the monsoon stops

Every day, I be treading right through swamps

In the dark, I've adapted. The only light in my life

Is the time when the moon's out

If the sun too bright, then I can't go

I've got no choice when I'm chained by the shackles

Guess I'll be keeping my place in the shadows

I keep it moving in the shadows

Controlling the Chaos in my mind

I keep it moving in the shadows

Where fury and darkness intertwine

I got that dark star misunderstood energy

Always eclipsing all the parts

That I don't want you to see

In the shadows

Alone

Moving in the shadows

Is the only life I've known
