Prompt / Lyrics
Verse 1 Shadow people hide the steeple Dancing in a house of flame Bottle glowing under glass Didn’t even know my name Peeking through those broken blinds Swore somebody after me But the only thing that chased me Was the man I used to be Pre-Chorus Didn’t feel like wrong or right Just something I had to need Chorus (Hook) Shadow people shaking the bottle Calling me back down that road Said I couldn’t live without it Said I’d never let it go But I opened up my eyes Saw the truth in all that evil Killed the man I used to be And I ran back to the steeple Verse 2 Temptation wasn’t temptation It was air inside my chest Every sip was just survival Every high just second best I was lost inside the shadows Didn’t think I’d ever leave Till I saw the devil smiling Looking right back out at me Pre-Chorus That’s the night it finally broke That grip it had on me Chorus (Hook) Shadow people shaking the bottle Calling me back down that road Said I couldn’t live without it Said I’d never let it go But I opened up my eyes Saw the truth in all that evil Killed the man I used to be And I ran back to the steeple Bridge (stripped, emotional) Yeah I burned in that house of fire With a ghost I couldn’t outrun Till I dropped that weight behind me And faced what I’d become Final Chorus (bigger) Shadow people lost their power When I finally let it go Ain’t no chains left on my soul now Ain’t no darkness in my bones Yeah I opened up my eyes Found some light inside that steeple Buried who I used to be When I ran back to the steeple Outro Shadow people still might whisper… But they don’t sound like me
