There's a shadow that I met as a child
He's sewn to my feet
And he has a voice
It sounds like
The warm honey of disregard
How soft it is keep to yourself
How sweet it is to look away
From pain
And float
Weightless with indifference
If I let my guard down
His strong hand grips
My shoulder
And he sings:

Just relax
Ease off the attack
Nothing can hurt you
If you don't fight back
It feels so nice
To feel alright
Don't you trust no one
But you-ou

Watch your back before
Complacency convinces you
To leave behind humanity
I feel him follow like a shadow
Tryna stand by me
I wanna look back
So bad
Cuz his presence
Boils anticipation
In my stomach
Like a slow clap

He's got the golden trap
I often find myself inside of
I let him whisper in my ear
And then my tongue is tied up

There's too many suffering
To try and take the side of
No revolution that
A single man can
turn the tide of

We used to play
When we were kids
Now you just ignore me
You really thought that I
Was just a chapter in your story
Gettin hard to match pace
With your do-si-do
Slow your roll for me
Let me tell you
what you need to know

NO NO
Damned if I do
Fucked if I don't
Shouldn't be
Dancin with you
Doesn't
Mean that I won't

Remember there was once
A time
That you didn't know
What you know now
Dontcha wanna go there

That's nowhere
No way in hell
Fuck avoidance
That's no way to be
Don't you sing to me
Impossible
Eventualities

Eventually won't come
If you standing still

And remedies will not
Concoct themselves
Our conscience will

The song goes
Never smile at the crocodile
The long nose
Makes a grin hard to reconcile
We both know
Every mile I walk away from you's
Another step further from the
Dance that we used to do

It wasn't NOT fun
But now I gotta run
Rock Lee with the ankle weights
That weigh a ton
Half the battle is forgetting
Not to think about my shadow
Every time I walk into the sun

Just relax
Ease off the attack
Nothing can hurt you
If you don't fight back
It feels so nice
To feel alright
Don't you trust no one
But you-ou
