RUNNING FROM MY SHADOW

[00:10.47] Yeah, wanna know where I don't go?
[00:12.62] When it goes from okay to a oh, no
[00:14.56] When it goes from hi-five to a low blow
[00:16.51] When it goes from all five to a solo
[00:18.47] Lemme tell you what you don't know
[00:19.93] I've been down, so low
[00:21.56] I was looking for something, but denying that I found it
[00:23.96] There's an elephant sitting in the room
[00:25.41] And I can't find another way to tiptoe around it
[00:27.99] I been doing greater good for a long time
[00:29.53] But I can't find any other way to give now
[00:31.82] I been putting myself on the sideline
[00:33.57] And it's been time so I'm saying can I live now
[00:35.73] There are times when I kick myself
[00:37.44] Say I'm not sick, but I can't get well
[00:39.34] Say I got this, while I chase my tail
[00:41.13] As if they can't tell
[00:42.19] I'm running from my shadow
[00:45.39] Running from my shadow
[00:46.89] But it's still there, chasing me down
[00:50.06] I'll never win the battle
[00:53.26] Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
[00:57.83] Just when I think I've found the end, ohh
[01:01.84] I'm going back around again, ohh
[01:05.94] Running from my shadow
[01:08.92] Running from my shadow
[01:10.47] But it's still there, chasing me down
[01:14.09] Yeah, yeah, light side's got a dark side to it
[01:16.70] Daytime flows into night like fluid
[01:18.64] The yin and the yang with a curved line through it
[01:20.60] And none of it's illuminating, why I do it
[01:22.97] Maybe I didn't want to chase what was not right
[01:24.96] Maybe I didn't want to face, you were offsides
[01:26.87] Thinking I was far away from a crossed line
[01:28.77] But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie
[01:30.83] There are things that you say and you don't say
[01:32.50] And my tongue's gotten real tired of me biting it
[01:34.63] 'Cause I keep on following the wrong way
[01:36.50] And time's come and I can't keep denying it
[01:38.72] There are times when I kick myself
[01:40.33] Say I'm not sick, but I can't get well
[01:42.34] Say I got this, while I chase my tail
[01:44.14] As if they can't tell
[01:45.11] I'm running from my shadow
[01:48.36] Running from my shadow
[01:49.78] But it's still there, chasing me down
[01:53.06] I'll never win the battle
[01:56.19] Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
[02:00.77] Just when I think I've found the end, ohh
[02:04.75] I'm going back around again, ohh
[02:08.98] Running from my shadow
[02:11.94] Running from my shadow
[02:13.32] But it's still there chasing me down
[02:18.72] I love you but I know
[02:20.69] I gotta let you go
[02:22.77] Dancing with the devil 'cause she's all I've ever known
[02:26.14] I wanted to pretend
[02:28.46] That this time was the end
[02:30.55] Sorry, but I guess I gotta let you down again
[02:34.25]
[02:37.04] Again
[02:38.30] Again
[02:40.97] I'm running from my shadow, now my shadow is my only friend
[02:51.19]
[02:56.11] Running from my shadow
[03:00.57] But it's still there chasing me down
[03:05.84]
[03:11.93] Running from my shadow
[03:14.88] Running from my shadow
[03:16.31] But it's still there chasing me down
[03:19.52]
