Xyavier the Second - Shadows Lyrics

Lemme tell you a story
It goes something like
Once upon a time, was a slave to my own mind
Barely could survive wars raging on inside
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the light
Once upon a time lived a free soul and mind
See
You think your roam the darkness nights these days
Tunnel vision has hidden
The missing lens the missing frame
Tired of seeing what happens when I give up the reigns
How the city we built over time has just gone up in flames
This poisonous rage dwelling inside has come to life
Too many times, too many wild fires too many apologies
A record on repeat for the chosen close to me
I'm tired of streams and weeps overflowing the valley
Thinking I'm not complete, deception from within
Tired of the nights where you can't sleep
Because the thoughts won't stop for a second
I could say that I'm fine in this glass house of mine
If you look for yourself you'll say otherwise
You'll say he's lost the war raging inside
Once upon a time, was a slave to my own mind
Barely could survive wars raging on inside
Standing in the shadows, Shadows
Standing in the light, in the light
Once upon a time lived a free soul and mind
Tired of the wave of emotions, pulling me out to the ocean
Lost my footing, now I'm lost at sea
Lost my footing, help isn't coming
And its sink or swim in the sea of life
With its Choppy waves, 40 foot tides
Yeah its nothing compared to the war that's raging on inside
You gotta calm your mind, Find your zen
Trust me there's peace knowing
What begins must come to an end
So will the storm
So will the rain
Soon the sun will take to the sky again
Trust and believe

Lemme tell you a story
It goes something like
Once upon a time, was a slave to my own mind
Barely could survive wars raging on inside
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the light
Once upon a time lived a free soul and mind
See
You think your roam the darkness nights these days
Tunnel vision has hidden
The missing lens the missing frame
Tired of seeing what happens when I give up the reigns
How the city we built over time has just gone up in flames
This poisonous rage dwelling inside has come to life
Too many times, too many wild fires too many apologies
A record on repeat for the chosen close to me
I'm tired of streams and weeps overflowing the valley
Thinking I'm not complete, deception from within
Tired of the nights where you can't sleep
Because the thoughts won't stop for a second
I could say that I'm fine in this glass house of mine
If you look for yourself you'll say otherwise
You'll say he's lost the war raging inside
Once upon a time, was a slave to my own mind
Barely could survive wars raging on inside
Standing in the shadows, Shadows
Standing in the light, in the light
Once upon a time lived a free soul and mind
Tired of the wave of emotions, pulling me out to the ocean
Lost my footing, now I'm lost at sea
Lost my footing, help isn't coming
And its sink or swim in the sea of life
With its Choppy waves, 40 foot tides
Yeah its nothing compared to the war that's raging on inside
You gotta calm your mind, Find your zen
Trust me there's peace knowing
What begins must come to an end
So will the storm
So will the rain
Soon the sun will take to the sky again
Trust and believe
