[Verse 1]
Sunrise on an ashtray table
Cold coffee, phone face-down
My reflection in the dark TV
Won't even try to stick around
I wear my jacket in the kitchen
Like I might bolt through the wall
Every cupboard packed with memories
I don't wanna touch at all
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself I'm fine, I'm stable (yeah right)
Then the quiet starts to crawl
Every shadow on the ceiling
Knows my name, it knows it all
[Chorus]
Shadows
Creeping at the edges of my mind
Shadows
Saying everything I try to hide
They follow when I run
They’re louder when I’m numb
Shadows
Living in the places you left behind
[Verse 2]
Got your sweater by the front door
Still hanging like a held breath
All your postcards on the fridge door
Maps of cities that we never met
I talk tough in the bathroom mirror
Practice lines like armor plates
But one crack in my composure
And they pour in through the gates (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
I tell myself I'm past your ghost now
Then the floor begins to shake
Every silence in this hallway
Screams the shapes that we both made
[Chorus]
Shadows
Creeping at the edges of my mind
Shadows
Saying everything I try to hide
They follow when I run
They’re louder when I’m numb
Shadows
Living in the places you left behind
[Bridge]
Yeah I tried that blackout, blackout
Blank screen, late-night blackout
Still your name bleeds bright through the dark of the room
I can’t scrub this, can’t out-run this
Every step, that same dull thud, it's
Like the floor remembers every part of you
[Chorus]
Shadows
Creeping at the edges of my mind
Shadows
Saying everything I try to hide
They follow when I run
They’re louder when I’m numb
Shadows
Living in the places you left behind
[Chorus]
Shadows
Painted on the inside of my eyes
Shadows
Turn my every truth into a lie
I’m reaching for the sun
But all I touch is one
Shadow
Shaped like you, and it won’t say goodbye
