Shadows

[Intro]
I'm choking up again, tell me, friend
When do shadows end?
I can't see over them, wondering
When the mind gives in
I have unhealthy attractions
To the pain that never mends
If I could write the light a single note

[Bridge]
It'd say, "When do shadows end?"
Oh-oh, oh-oh
When do shadows end?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
When do shadows end?

[Verse 1]
Straining voices, they hear it all
Next in line, can you fix it all?
Shove a pill down my throat and say
"Have another beautiful day"

[Chorus]
I'm choking up again, tell me, friend
When do shadows end?
I can't see over them, wondering
When the mind gives in
I have unhealthy attractions
To the pain that never mends
If I could write the light a single note
It'd say, "When do shadows end?" (Oh-oh, oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Put me in a room with a silver tray
Smile and nod, then turn away
Tell me everything is in my head
Fuck your pills, I spit 'em out instead

[Chorus]
I'm choking up again, tell me, friend
When do shadows end?
I can't see over them, wondering
When the mind gives in
I have unhealthy attractions
To the pain that never mends
If I could write the light a single note
It'd say, "When do shadows end?"

[Bridge]
Bottom of the bottle
Fall to dark, but show the light of day
I wouldn't have it any other way

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I'm choking up again, tell me, friend
When do shadows end?
I can't see over them, wondering
When the mind gives in
I have unhealthy attractions
To the pain that never mends
If I could write the light a single note
It'd say, "When do shadows end?"

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh
When do shadows end?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
When do shadows end?
