Lyrics
[Intro]
Yeah
Been talkin' to the dark again
Uh
[Verse 1]
Shadows on the wall say "what's up, kid?"
Talkin' like they know every secret that I did
They be in the corner, smilin', sayin' "we legit"
"Why you always flinchin' every time that we visit?"
Late night, low light, eyes playin' tricks
Heart doin' double time, sweat on my fist
They like, "open up, we can help with this"
"All that pain in your chest? We can handle it" (yeah)
[Chorus]
Shadows speak to me
Tellin' me to let them in
Sayin' they my friends
Sayin' they my friends
"Don't be scared of me
All you gotta do is grin
Open up and breathe
Just, just let us in"
Shadows speak to me
Tellin' me to let them in
Sayin' they my friends
Sayin' they my friends
[Verse 2]
They be like, "remember when they left you on read?"
"Remember when they laughed at the thoughts in your head?"
"We was in the back, we was there when you bled
We the only ones that stay when the good days end"
They sweet-talk, deep talk, curl 'round my bed
Promise me peace while they pullin' on my leg
"You ain't gotta fight, just follow what we said
We can make the noise in your skull turn dead" (shhh)
I feel 'em in the hallway, creepin' by the door
Whisper in my ear, "you don't need 'em anymore"
Every little fear that I tried to ignore
They dress it up pretty, then they lay it on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
They say, "we your crew, we your day-ones too" (yeah)
"Look how every human always switched on you" (facts)
"If they ever loved you, why you feelin' this used?"
"Trust the ones that stay inside the gloom"
[Chorus]
Shadows speak to me
Tellin' me to let them in
Sayin' they my friends
Sayin' they my friends
"Don't be scared of me
All you gotta do is grin
Open up and breathe
Just, just let us in"
Shadows speak to me
Tellin' me to let them in
Sayin' they my friends
Sayin' they my friends
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
If you my friends
Why my chest so tight when you step in? (huh)
If you my friends
Why you only pull up when the lights dim? (why?)
If you my friends
Why you love it when I drown in my sins?
Answer me this
Why you beg so hard just to live in my skin?
[Chorus]
