Behind a Shadow

[Intro]
[Verse 1][Guitar half step down progression Eb–Bb–Cm–Ab]
It was my opinion, but I don't  have one anymore, 
I try to find a reason, but I always hit the floor 
It's so confusing, when you light the gas to a story. 
It's a wall you hide behind, to claim all the glory. 
But Surely my common sense should prevail, 
When your distorted words tell a different tail. 

[Pre Chorus]
There is something broken with the way you hide....
Behind a shadow of meaningless lies...


[Chorus]
So I cover my eyes and retreat until it is safe 
Shoving everything away so it's easier to brace 
Forgetting what's wrong I start to lose my grace 
with eyes rolled back I can not feel my face 
Tensing and Shaking in a trans like state

[Bridge][change progression]

[Verse 2]
When questions emerge 
It shows the kink in your armour. 
Slowly you turn into an evil charmer. 
You flutter your eyes and apologise. 
Like a demon in angelic disguise. 
Feeling insenced to what you have to hide, 
I accept all the excuses and swallow my pride. 

[Pre chorus]
There is something broken with the way you hide....
Behind a shadow of meaningless lies...

[Chorus]
I cover my eyes and retreat until it is safe 
Shoving everything away so it's easier to brace 
Forgetting what's wrong I start to lose my grace 
with eyes rolled back I can not feel my face 
Tensing and Shaking in a trans like state
