"Shadow Of The Sun" lyrics
Why's it feel so dark when
I light that spark
Whys it always so bright
When I rip my heart out
Take my time
Tell my baby bye bye
Only home for the night
I'll be gone tomorrow
And I pack my bags
For a plane to sorrow
Tell my baby bye bye
I'll be gone tomorrow
See I've never met a world
That'll wait for the great things
Wanna be a king
Then the weight will be waiting
Get up off the ground
And you take a look around
And the people that you're fightin' for
Are holdin' it down
That's some real life
Living like survival of the fittest shit
We ain't never start it
But we damn gonna finish it
Take a wrong turn
And you'll learn what the business is
Take a look around
And you'll see what the vision is
Family over everything
And money ain't love
Got a pot to piss in
And you ain't on them drugs
Then you're better than the most of us
Or most of us was
Livin on the westside
Lookin for the plug
Made it out alive
But it wasn't for the love
I just fought enough battles
That I'm thinkin that I won
Standin' as a man
In the shadow of the sun
And a clouded up mind
Of what it is and what it was
Why's it feel so dark when
I light that spark
Whys it always so bright
When I rip my heart out
Take my time
Tell my baby bye bye
Only home for the night
I'll be gone tomorrow
And I pack my bags
For a plane to sorrow
Tell my baby bye bye
I'll be gone tomorrow
I got the weight of the world
Pinned down on my backside
Bills so high
That it's hard to show act right
Out on the road
Gettin money, send it home
And I never see a dollar of it
Say it ain't so
Workin' like a dog
In the heat in the summertime
Makin ends meet
So the wolves don't come inside
Fightin' for my life
And my wife and the kin of mine
Pressure builds up
Like a diamond in a coal mine
Bust my ass to make minimum wage
And the price of gas
Will make the middle class rage
Grind it out but I can feel all that pain
And I've had enough
But I'll do it all day
I was born in the coals
In the fire in the furnace
Gettin burnt but I never
Get tired of the service
Havin life with a purpose
'Stead of life in a circus
Gettin high when you're workin'
Ain't a lie worth livin', no
Why's it feel so dark when
I light that spark
Whys it always so bright
When I rip my heart out
Take my time
Tell my baby bye bye
Only home for the night
I'll be gone tomorrow
And I pack my bags
For a plane to sorrow
Tell my baby bye bye
I'll be gone tomorrow
I light that spark
Whys it always so bright
When I rip my heart out
Take my time
Tell my baby bye bye
Only home for the night
I'll be gone tomorrow
And I pack my bags
For a plane to sorrow
Tell my baby bye bye
I'll be gone tomorrow
See I've never met a world
That'll wait for the great things
Wanna be a king
Then the weight will be waiting
Get up off the ground
And you take a look around
And the people that you're fightin' for
Are holdin' it down
That's some real life
Living like survival of the fittest shit
We ain't never start it
But we damn gonna finish it
Take a wrong turn
And you'll learn what the business is
Take a look around
And you'll see what the vision is
Family over everything
And money ain't love
Got a pot to piss in
And you ain't on them drugs
Then you're better than the most of us
Or most of us was
Livin on the westside
Lookin for the plug
Made it out alive
But it wasn't for the love
I just fought enough battles
That I'm thinkin that I won

And a clouded up mind
Of what it is and what it was
Why's it feel so dark when
I light that spark
Whys it always so bright
When I rip my heart out

Only home for the night
I'll be gone tomorrow
And I pack my bags
For a plane to sorrow
Tell my baby bye bye
I'll be gone tomorrow

Tell my baby bye bye
I'll be gone tomorrow
