My Own Shadow

I own my father's books
 They're all that I ever took
 From him when he died
 But I don't think he'll mind now
 I fought my father's wars
 But I can't figure out what for
 So I think I'll concede
 He don't care, he's fast asleep
 I've done it your way
 I've loved all your shade
 But I think it's time I go
 Instead of living inside yours
 I'll cast my own shadow
 I have my mothers teeth
 People say that they can see
 Her when I turn a smile
 Except I've been feeling sad a while
 I did my parents' drugs
 I took them in the name of love
 But I like being clean
 I like feeling finally seen
 I've done it your way
 I've loved all your shade
 But I think it's time I go
 Instead of living inside yours
 I'll cast my own shadow
 I've done it your way
 I've loved all your shade
 But I think it's time I go
 Instead of living inside yours
 I'll cast my own shadow
