Lyrics

A shadow life will only break your heart
It steals the light and tears the sun apart
Like a shadow in the dark
I know you're living in a shadow life
Better watch your step
Should you stumble, you're gonna fall
'Cause daddy's secrets are the killing kind
Rope around your neck
It's a wonder you breathe at all
You turn a blind eye and I hold on
Young fool, will it ever change
Why can't you ever see?
The shadow life will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light and tears us all apart
Like a shadow in the dark
I can feel it when you're under me
There is something else
There is something I can't let go
Never silence to the misery
Feel it in your sex
Every time that we're all alone
Yet still, you just deny it all
But I can't take this anymore
But I can't turn away
The shadow life will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light and tears the sun apart
Like a shadow in the dark
It's coming
It's coming
It haunts us, it tears us apart
Just like a shadow in the dark
You're a shadow in the dark
The shadow life will only break your heart
Like I said before
It steals the light and tears the sun apart
Like a shadow in the dark
I feel it when your under me
There's a dirty secret to this misery, yeah
The shadow life will only break your heart
Like a shadow in the dark
You're a shadow in the dark
You're a shadow in the dark
