Lyrics
shadow
Verse One:
im not always who I want to be/
never who I want to be/ (damnit...)
steppin' on this shadow..shallow then it follow me/
hollowed me, involuntary swallowin' in harmony..?/
start' in key end in off beat alarmin' constantly/
blessed with this life and a mic hourglass no sand...
a clock with a face.... and no hands/
Caught you in the face with my glance/
send you to the basement..pacin'.face down.your place now..
It's soothin' me to write there is no fight/
struggle of acceptance. in fact.. I just stepped in/
and.. respect zen, ponder the art of reflection.../
oft-en wishin' to be livin' this life in the shadows/
saught anothers..then..rattlin' handles to shambles/
chorus
Verse Two:
Within harmony a symphony of bartering/
Dark overcast vague..squandering off dearly departing/
To..what cost is this costing...to what/
A'm I acostin!? thoughts bend.. I'm just lost then/
but when can I be found again!?..floundering'/
graspin' barely out of a team'in'abyss of water
started as a weak gasp but now'.I'm breathin' harder.../
This mean streak in my voice it's only that I'm hungry/
and when I speak it's not just rap...see..the heart of me./
far fetched...end of life not seemin' far to me/
I want you to listen..free minds I know are imprisoned/
an atom to fission.. neck-snaps to car collisions/
artists vision.. art IS envisioned...flip em to submission...
goal not shinin' but glistenin'...rip em' till no one's listenin'
::gasp:: shit...they ain't already/
repeat it to myself... doomed into forgetting..
defeated,....laugh..., a tomb in a cemetary...
Chorus
Verse Three:
Life not plain.. or as simple as things cast at slants/
treads break off tires... road's stream to vast/
it seems at last I'm blockin things that's cast/
perhaps I'll kick the darkness that consumes me fast/
in fact this shade of mine.. take over pry through this shell
loosely translated this whole verse speaks 'life is hell'/
cry into a well, loose tears ripple water fierce/
start in gear grind shit till all that's simple is feared/
withold my leer..steer clear, the oval silouhette beckons I cometh/
fed up and through with it.. so Im'a threaten to summon/
darkness do divide your soul so we left in a summit/
probe flashin' lights screw the mold we blendin' in subtle/
defendin' the rebutle...burned down in orbit..send in the rubble!/
bendin light like the hubble a shadow dissapears, to reappear/
as a manifested form stay warned and listen clear/
the end is near..formadable fo' the shadow knows/
all that is saught and all that is told/
saturated minds with facts to unfold blow your dome/
withold the information leakin' slow your on your own/
