Punching Shadows

Lace up my gloves Check my stance Alone with my shadow Ready to dance It's about time I stood up for myself Roll with the punches Come out of my shell I'll protect my face Keep the weight on my toes Try to find my reach When I'm punching shadows No it's not your fault That you don't understand me, understand me When I'm punching shadows (gotta fight my fears) Punching shadows (through the sweat and tears) Falling in love With every strike A heart that knew only darkness Suddenly light Growing into A new identity A man with a future Set finally free I'll protect my face Keep the weight on my toes Try to find my reach When I'm punching shadows No it's not your fault That you don't understand me, understand me When I'm punching shadows (gotta fight my fears) Punching shadows (through the sweat and tears) I'll protect my face Keep the weight on my toes Try to find my reach When I'm punching shadows No it's not your fault That you don't understand me, understand me If they only knew How I see the world And my place within it Let me find the words I just need a minute You know it's not my fault That I don't understand you, understand you So I'm punching shadows (gotta fight my fears) Punching shadows (through the sweat and tears) Punching shadows
