DRAGGING MY SHADOW
 

Bleakness was around me like a big fat cloud today
People staring at their phones, stepping in my way
I guess I don’t recall the last friendly soul I’ve met
For all the fun I do not have I might as well be dead

[Refrain]
But I’m dragging my shadow …
So the light must be ahead

I‘m staring out my window at the greasy city night
The dark floor of my room is strewn
With shards of broken light
No use to further feed dark voices in my head
I’ll get me some moonshine
And drown my soul instead

[Refrain + Solo]
But I’m dragging my shadow …
So the light must be ahead

The empty handed with their hearts hijacked
Are played like fools
Cause you can only win the game
If you rewrite the rules
The haggard ghost of ignorance
Has risen from the dead
The cold stink of indifference
Fills me constant dread

[Refrain x2]
