Lyrics

Living in the Shadows (Demo)

[Verse 1]

Constant quick fixes

Don't make no sense

Hop on bandwagons

They make me sick

[Chorus]

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!

When you're living in the shadows

Close your eyes and you will lose the fight!

When you're living in the shadows

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!

When you're living in the shadows

I can tell that you have lost your sight!

When you're living in the shadows

[Verse 2]

Distant loud chuckles

Keep me awake

Awkward instances

Won't make you hip

[Chorus]

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!

When you're living in the shadows

Close your eyes and you will lose the fight!

When you're living in the shadows

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!

When you're living in the shadows

I can tell that you have lost your sight!

When you're living in the shadows

[Bridge]

We've said this all before

Your shadows at the door

We've said this all before

Your shadows at the door

There's darkness in the hall

And we won't take the fall

And we won't take the fall!

[Chorus]

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!

When you're living in the shadows

Close your eyes and you will lose the fight!

When you're living in the shadows

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!

When you're living in the shadows

I can tell that you have lost your sight!

When you're living in the shadows

Oh, don't you tell me, what you think is right!

When you're living in the shadows

Close your eyes and you will lose the fight!

When you're living in the shadows

Don't you tell me, what you think is right!

When you're living in the shadows

I can tell that you have lost your sight!

When you're living in the shadows
