From the recording Taking My Time
Not every day was a sunshine parade. When I would wander the boulevards at night, i would make friends with the shadows. I would often wonder if moving out to L.A. was worth it. The sacrifice of old friends, family, and love.
Lyrics
Lonely Shadows
[Verse]
The rain taps lightly on my window pane
Each drop a whisper of my aching pain
The clock keeps ticking but the room won’t change
[Chorus]
Lonely shadows
They’re my only friends
They dance around me
Never make amends
I reach for sunlight but the night won’t bend
Lonely shadows
Here until the end
[Verse 2]
The walls are heavy
Breathing down my neck
I try to scream but all I get’s a wreck
The echoes mock me
Every word’s a check
[Prechorus]
Is it me or just the air
Thick with ghosts that never care
[Chorus]
Lonely shadows
They’re my only friends
They dance around me
Never make amends
I reach for sunlight but the night won’t bend
Lonely shadows
Here until the end
[Bridge]
If I could break this hollow shell
Would I find heaven or just more hell
I talk to silence
It talks back well
