Lyrics

Shadows

[Verse 1]

A thousand eyes

And still no sight

The people I love

They won't let it show

As we dance on the edge

The people I love

They don't let it show

And we fall from the edge

[Chorus]

Now there's a sword above my head

There's a monster in my bed

Now for the longest time

But I've been waiting in my room

I've been whistling a tune

Now that I can't describe

And I don't know why

So if you really wanna know

I don't think I'm gonna go

And venture out

'Causе they keep on running through my head

Words I cannot find

And no, I can't deny

But I'm still far from thе edge

[Verse 2]

These shadows cloud my good side

They leave me no room for me

The people I love

(The people I love)

They won't let it show

(Won't let it show)

We dance on the edge

[Chorus]

Now there's a sword above my head

There's a monster in my bed

Now for the longest time

But I've been waiting in my room

I've been whistling a tune, now

That I can't describe

And I don't know why

So if you really want to know

I don't think I'm going to go

And venture out

'Cause they keep on running through my head

Words I cannot find

And no, I can't deny

But I'm still far from the edge
