Shadow (feat. IRO) - From Songland

Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
 I've been losin' hours
 Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
 Runnin' from my shadow
 Runnin' from my shadow
 I need relief, I need some peace
 But the voices, they keep talking to me
 And I keep going to meetings, I pray every evening
 But I can't escape my disease
 Lookin' at me, stare in the mirror
 Look at the man starin' back at you
 You are your failures, you are your triumphs
 You are a prophet, you are an asshole
 You are a devil and you are a god
 You buy a shovel and bury it all
 Think you can purchase your way right out of the void
 And not end up payin' the cost?
 Lie to yourself, lie to them, hell
 Whatever helps, forgotten what's real
 You think the secrets you keep stay between you and me
 But the shadow's attached to your heels, like
 Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
 I've been losin' hours
 Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
 Runnin' from my shadow
 Runnin' from my shadow
 I let it rain through the sunroof
 I've been parked out by the waterfront
 Been going to war with myself
 Reading Sun Tzu, bumpin' Tha Carter I
 I'm back on day two, forgot how hard it was
 Starin' at me for so long, I forgot who the target was
 I thought I was over this, this isn't what sober is
 What kind of dad would hold their kids
 Then go back out and ignore the risk?
 The shadow wants me to forget the pain
 Wants me to live in the guilt and the shame
 So much that I have no choice but to die from the drugs
 Or blow out my fucking brain
 The shadow, it wants me too busy
 It wants me keep driftin'
 It wants me to give in to fame
 It wants me forgettin' that I got an illness that lives in my spirit in different ways
 Shadow, the light
 They can both blind, got different names
 If it's too dark, if it's too bright
 It can still burn you with different flames
 And I don't owe them an iota
 Tell my mama I'ma die sober
 Yeah, I might be bipolar
 I should write an album out in Wyoming
 Low bottom, I'm a high roller
 Go full throttle, got no chauffeur
 Got two voices on both shoulders
 But I keep swinging 'til the fight's over
 Got me straight up drinkin' from the barrel
 I've been losin' hours
 Singin' sad songs underneath the gallows
 Runnin' from my shadow
 (Runnin' from my shadow)
 Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
 Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
 Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
 Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day
 Runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away, away, away
 Chasin' me down every night and all day, all day, all day
 I'm runnin', I'm runnin', I can't get away
 Chasin' me down every night and all day
 My mama told me I gotta be brave, be brave, be brave
 Keep runnin' from my shadow
