"Shadow Puppet" lyrics
Shadows, playing puppetry
Whole life, I fear what's on the wall
Your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Cold sweats in the evening
Bad dreams of you speaking
The harsh truth that I already knew
Now I'm broken in two, just picking up pieces
I could never move on
From all the times that I tried and I wasn't too strong
But I could never do wrong
In your eyes, why you think I'm still singing these songs?
I lost a few friends, now a couple got sons
And it never made sense when a couple got stung
In the same place, looking at the same sun
Gave you my trust, never had a trust fund
Now mistakes that I make, yeah, they come with lump-sums
World for the take and one day it gon' come
The words that you said, yeah, I never missed one
And I'm here, still here, even when the love's gone
Shadows, playing puppetry
Whole life, I fear what's on the wall
But your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away
How many times did I lose my shit?
How many times did I bruise my fist?
All the times I felt so dismissed
When you see it clear, but it don't exist
How many times could I shoot and miss?
Counting fears when my mind play tricks
Broke promises I tried making stick
Wasting time and that moment slipped
Now I'm on the road and I'm three nights in
Just did a show, shoulda heard 'em sing
I saw your face when the light went dim
You saw my place in a life of sin
Remember the times when my mind would spin?
I was terrified when I packed my shit
Left the crib with my chances slim
I couldn't see it then, but you always did
Shadows, playing puppetry
Whole life, I fear what's on the wall
Your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Don't wait too long
Sitting on a bad prayer now
Fire
Didn't know what we know now
Fire
Looking at the city burn down
Fire
Just you and me under grey clouds
Fire
Out of bounds, I was O.T.
Fire
Long nights, didn't know sleep, yeah, yeah
Fire
When I'm back around, you know me, yeah
Fire
When I'm back around, shadow hold me, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
The shadow won't go
Shadows, playing puppetry
Whole life, I fear what's on the wall
And your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away too long
Shadows, playing puppetry
Whole life, I fear what's on the wall
And your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love, it's been away
Whole life, I fear what's on the wall
Your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Don't wait too long
It's been away too long
Cold sweats in the evening
Bad dreams of you speaking
The harsh truth that I already knew
Now I'm broken in two, just picking up pieces
I could never move on
From all the times that I tried and I wasn't too strong
But I could never do wrong
In your eyes, why you think I'm still singing these songs?
I lost a few friends, now a couple got sons
And it never made sense when a couple got stung
In the same place, looking at the same sun
Gave you my trust, never had a trust fund
Now mistakes that I make, yeah, they come with lump-sums
World for the take and one day it gon' come
The words that you said, yeah, I never missed one
And I'm here, still here, even when the love's gone
Shadows, playing puppetry
Whole life, I fear what's on the wall
But your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love been away
How many times did I lose my shit?
How many times did I bruise my fist?
All the times I felt so dismissed

'Cause your love been away too long
Shadows, playing puppetry
Whole life, I fear what's on the wall
And your love, now it's killing me
'Cause your love, it's been away
