Chasing Shadows

[Intro]
In my sleep I picture me with kerosene to light this bitch up
And I see no way to contemplate a better way

[Verse 1]
What's the point in hidin'?
I'm so disappointed I can't take control of it (Control of it)
Exposing it (Exposing it)
Pushed me past the breaking point
It's something we just can't avoid, I'm over it (I'm over it)
When the closure hits (Closure hits)
In my sleep I picture me with kerosene to light this bitch up
And I see no way to contemplate a better way

[Chorus]
And as I'm waiting
All of my memories are fading
I can't remember
I'm chasing shadows that tear me apart
Don't let 'em take me away

[Verse 2]
Even when I got the lights off
I can't escape from the shadows that I saw
I didn't mean to believe in 'em
I thought I'd get away, but the time's wrong
Stuck in this cycle
Look in the mirror, I see the shit clearer behind me
Thought that I might be over this shit
But despite me thinkin' it, pain sinkin' in, and then it's likely over
Over my shoulder, my demons keep sinkin' their teeth in
It's keepin' me dreamin' of workin' this shit out
It's hard to keep breathin', it's time that I sit down
I reach for the ceiling and burn this whole shit down
You motherfuckers better listen up
Give it up, thinkin' I give a fuck
I will keep chasin' my past if it isn't stuck
Burnin' myself to the ground, and I wish it luck

[Chorus]
And as I'm waiting
All of my memories are fading
I can't remember
I'm chasing shadows that tear me apart

[Outro]
And when I see my world crashing down
I will realize nothing has changed
And I need my shadows that tear me apart
Don't let 'em take me away
