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?
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
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?
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
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?
Bottom of the bottle
Fall to dark but show the light of day
I wouldn’t have it any other way
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?
