Sophomore Shadows

Verse 1:

another year, another round,

of tormenting and pushing around.

it only got worse,

the spiral of remorse.

nothing changed,

even when the weight got less.

new reasons arranged,

making me more of a mess.

isolating myself from the stress,

nightmares,

thinking leaving’s for the best,

it kinda scares.

Pre-Chorus:

they threw their sticks and stones,

called me names,

breaking my bones,

setting them aflame.

Chorus:

there’s no way to explain,

i’m tired of that rain.

and there in the darkness i can see,

my sophomore shadows waiting for me.

Verse 2:

fuck it all,

no more paintings on the wall.

scrolling through tumblr at 3 a.m.,

thinking we’re all the same.

no, nothing looks as it seems,

deep down we build walls,

to escape into dreams,

and paint over the halls.

my bills have been paid,

their loan is overdue,

how can make things unsaid?

there’s so many reasons to sue.

Pre-Chorus:

blood red,

i can see my head,

upon their shelf,

showing off their wealth.

Chorus:

there’s no way to explain,

i’m tired of that rain.

and there in the darkness i can see,

my sophomore shadows waiting for me.

Outro:

why do y’all see,

me as the villain?

what did you mean,

when you said it’s time to begin?

will you kill me?

do i deserve to finally see light?

how can it be,

that you still haunt me in the night?

maybe just because,

you are my sophomore shadows —

my cursed hollows.
