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?
