Shadows - Intellectual

[Chorus]

And as the day becomes night and the sun goes down

Dark shadows grow cold and cloak round your hometown

It's the feeling of dread that's inside your head

Makes you wonder what the hell happened

In the last twelve years I've been sliding all through my life

Sitting up on the couch making wishes that I figured it out

Why the hell you're still asleep and why you've deserved all of this shit

If you're looking for a sign, this is it

I've been growing up, in school I barely made the cut

This life, I gotta live it up, but the pictures always make my mouth shut

Ain't it stupid? I'm still haunted by the sound of the cracking

The picture of the blood on the blouse is the reason I've been slacking

And your fathers drinking problem got even worse

And your mother won't try to leave him, make it seem like she's been cursed

And the man who hit you is still nowhere to be found

And I still have these crippling feelings of self-doubt

Still sitting on the couch

I can't believe how I threshed around

In my heart is a hole and in my head is a cloud

Makes you wonder what the hell just happened

In the last twelve years ever since I hit that girl

I've been smoking, drinking, kicking my money into a curve

It seems like I still have not learned how to treat a person

My wife said to her friends, she gets scared when I emerge

And I don't understand it, but I probably should have stayed

At the scene where her bones started twisting in shape

The confused look on her face and the smell of sweat

I wake up screaming at nights, thinking that I wet the bed

And the voices in my head are screaming louder than ever

And every thunder sounds like a scream in the weather

Wether I am insane or not I do not really know

But it seems my brain locks himself inside a flow
