Lyrics to In The Shadows:
It’s hard to open up my eyes
When I feel like I’ve been blind
All of my days, now I’m
Wandering through the haze
And the world is looks so crazy
Maybe that’s just me
Maybe it’s just me
We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone
See me trapped within this construct
Beating at the locked up door and
Gripped tight deep within my fist
Is the key to all I’ve missed
That the pain is just the teacher
And the cage is just a myth
We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone
I spend oh so many hours
Building up and giving power
To the worst I can imagine lives in me
And now oh to my surprise
When the ghost as me disguised
Is the best at breaking everything
Everything, everything I dream.
You who presume you can stay dry by
Dodging all the raindrops falling
Thick, try lifting up your tongue
To the rain not just the sun
Nothing quite so simple
Was ever so much fun
We all find our secrets
Patient in the shadows
Right there where we left them waiting
No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone

Unfortunately I couldn’t listen to the podcast it’s a deaf thing. The lyrics to In the Shadows were absolutely gorgeous and heartfelt. The line:
“No matter how far we run
They run right beside us
Our demons know our names
Better than anyone”
That was close to home, something I understand more than I wish. Thank you for sharing! – Sage
As it grows and I bring in sponsorships/more patrons, I intend to get the episodes transcribed, so that would mean you’d be able to enjoy them too! I am sorry about that, hopefully soon the support will roll in and we can make it even more amazing!
Happy you enjoyed the lyrics, thank you Sage!
Would love to hear your thoughts on this podcast, I’m so excited to be sharing it with you!
