Shadows Album “Picking my Shadows side” Track 1

Intro

Windows cry when I don’t

Ashtray full of memories I won’t smoke

Dashboard glowin’ like a ghost in the glass

Highway hummin’ songs about the past

Verse 1

Rearview full of faces I outdrove

Every mile another name I let go

Silence sittin’ heavy in the passenger seat

Radio static soundin’ like defeat

Chorus

Darkness always has been my peace

The night hums soft, lets my worries cease

I ride alone but I don’t feel lost

Every shadow’s warmth comes without cost

Verse 2

Tires hiss like they’re whisperin’ names

Every exit sign burns the same

I been drivin’ through the echoes of mistakes

Where love turns cold and memory breaks

Gravel hums like a funeral hymn

I shook hands with the dark and let it in

Found a quiet in the places light won’t go

Learned the language only shadows know

Chorus

Darkness always has been my peace

The night hums soft, lets my worries cease

I ride alone but I don’t feel lost

Every shadow’s warmth comes without cost

Verse 3

I stopped runnin’ from the night I knew

Found a mirror in the black and saw the truth

Pain became a song I learned to breathe

And the silence started speakin’ back to me

There’s peace in the places no one sees

A home in the hurt that never leaves

The dark don’t scare me like before

It’s the only friend that kept the door

Chorus (Variation)

Darkness always has been my peace

It hums my name, gives me release

I ride alone but I don’t feel lost

Every shadow’s warmth comes without cost

Verse 4

I laid my fear down on the roadside

Let the night wrap me in its quiet pride

No sun, no light, no reason to pretend

The dark’s my home now, there’s no need to mend

Every shadow knows the songs I keep

Whispers that follow me even in sleep

I don’t reach for dawn, I don’t chase the skies

I live in the night where my own truth lies

Verse 5

Morning comes, the streets still bare

I wake alone, but I don’t despair

The ghosts of loss hum soft around my name

They’re silent now, yet they keep me from the same

Alone in the day, yet I carry the night

Every dark memory feels almost right

I’ve made peace with what I used to fight

The shadows walk beside me, but they don’t bite

Outro

Windows cry when I don’t

Dashboard glowin’ like a ghost in the glass

Highway hummin’ songs about the past
