You’re Shadow is Dark

Your Shadow is cold

But someday I’d like to cast shadows of my own

But when you’re near I just can’t reach the light

When you’re gone I shine for you so bright

Your Roots bruise my mouth

Your rage is so strong

But some day I’ll rustle these leaves of my own

And when I do you’ll know it’s not okay

When you’re near I scrape for words to say.

Chorus:

 I need time.  And I need space

So I can grow tall like the Sequoias

And I can look you in the face.

 

But I’m just the child and you’re the grown up

You come home so tired I try hard not to wake you up

But it seems you never ever want to play

You just say I’m always in your way

Break

If I am the apple and you are the tree

I’d sacrifice my sweet to become a bitter leaf

And pray for heavy winds to set me free

And Zephyr me away from Poison Trees.

Chorus:

So I need time and I need space

Maybe I’ll get drunk like a grown up

Maybe I’ll Slap you on the face

And say “Hey, Where you been?”

“Hey, Where you been

All my life?”
