[Verse 1]

Life's a little brutal

A little bit beautiful

I don't think I understand it at all

Take the lure of the quick pharmaceuticals

I don't think we understand it at all

[Verse 2]

Heard it said there's a shadow self in my head

Part of me I don't wanna show

At my limit and I hate to admit it

Sometimes I just wanna let go

[Pre-Chorus]

We all got a dark side, we all try to hide

Sweep under the carpet like it's not alive

We all got our reasons, what we keep inside

Dark side, dark side

[Chorus]

I'm gonna drag my shadow into the light

I'm gonna let my monsters eat me alive

I'm one confession from nothing to hide

I'm gonna show my shadow, my shadow

You're gonna love me ugly or not at all

This is the worst part of me I'll ever show

But then I guess I'll die being finally known

I'm gonna show my shadow, my shadow

[Verse 3]

I've been keeping a part of me underneath and

Hoping it don't kill me below

In the open, let them all see me broken

Judge me all you want but you know

[Pre-Chorus]

We all got a dark side, we all try to hide

Sweep under the carpet like it's not alive

We all got our reasons, what we keep inside

Dark side, dark side

[Chorus]

I'm gonna drag my shadow into the light

I'm gonna let my monsters eat me alive

I'm one confession from nothing to hide

I'm gonna show my shadow, my shadow

You're gonna love me ugly or not at all

This is the worst part of me I'll ever show

But then I guess I'll die being finally known

I'm gonna show my shadow, my shadow

[Bridge]

Subconscious, suppressed causes

Honest, what's your diagnonsense?

It's a battle to unravel

So afraid of your own shadow

Subconscious, suppressed causes

Honest, what's your diagnonsense?

It's a battle to unravel

So afraid of your own shadow

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

I'm gonna drag my shadow into the light

I'm gonna let my monsters eat me alive

I'm one confession from nothing to hide

I'm gonna show my shadow, my shadow

You're gonna love me ugly or not at all

This is the worst part of me I'll ever show

But then I guess I'll die being finally known

I'm gonna show my shadow, my shadow

[Outro]

I'm gonna face the invisible parts (my shadow)

You're gonna see every last little scar (my shadow)

I'm gonna show you every inch of my heart

I'm gonna show my shadow, my shadow
