"Shadow" lyrics

"Shadow"

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You let it rise
You let it pull you down

And as it gripped you in the darkness with a thousand eyes a-ragin'
You were shredded all to pieces from the things you couldn't face
You're living the long war, war

And I know
You're just a version of my shadow (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I was terrified of listening to the lights
So the darkness came alive and telling me, "I know" (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

You're on your own
You're in the thick of it

And the fire that's been burning in your head for all your life
Well, it's blazing through the best of you, the path is set alight
Telling me, "Oh-whoa, oh-whoa" (Woo!)

And I know (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You're just a version of my shadow (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I was terrified of listening to the lights
So the darkness came alive and telling me, "I know" (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)

Whoa, don't tear me down
I swear, I love you
Don't drown me out, I swear
I love you (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Don't lock me out (Ooh-ooh)
I swear, I love you
I love you
(One, two, three, four)

And I know (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You're just a version of my shadow (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I was terrified of listening to the lights
So the darkness came alive telling me, "I know" (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
And I know (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
You're just a version of my shadow (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
An apparition of the things I couldn't face
Trying to put me in my place and telling me, "I know" (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
