shadow

Icon For Hire

Life s a little brutal
A little bit beautiful
I don t think I understand it at all
Take the lure of the quick pharmaceuticals
I don t think we understand it at all

Heard it said there s a shadow self in my head
Part of me I don t wanna show
At my limit and I hate to admit it
Sometimes I just wanna let go

We all got a dark side, we all try to hide
Sweep under the carpet like it s not alive
We all got our reasons, what we keep inside
Dark side, dark side

I m gonna drag my shadow into the light
I m gonna let my monsters eat me alive
I m one confession from nothing to hide
I m gonna show my shadow, my shadow
You re gonna love me ugly or not at all
This is the worst part of me I ll ever show
But then I guess I ll die being finally known
I m gonna show my shadow, my shadow

I ve been keeping a part of me underneath and
Hoping it don t kill me below
In the open, let them all see me broken
Judge me all you want but you know

We all got a dark side, we all try to hide
Sweep under the carpet like it s not alive
We all got our reasons, what we keep inside
Dark side, dark side

I m gonna drag my shadow into the light
I m gonna let my monsters eat me alive
I m one confession from nothing to hide
I m gonna show my shadow, my shadow
You re gonna love me ugly or not at all
This is the worst part of me I ll ever show
But then I guess I ll die being finally known
I m gonna show my shadow, my shadow

Subconscious, suppressed causes
Honest, what s your diagnonsense?
It s a battle to unravel
So afraid of your own shadow
Subconscious, suppressed causes
Honest, what s your diagnonsense?
It s a battle to unravel
So afraid of your own shadow

I m gonna drag my shadow into the light
I m gonna let my monsters eat me alive
I m one confession from nothing to hide
I m gonna show my shadow, my shadow
You re gonna love me ugly or not at all
This is the worst part of me I ll ever show
But then I guess I ll die being finally known
I m gonna show my shadow, my shadow

I m gonna face the invisible parts (my shadow)
You re gonna see every last little scar (my shadow)
I m gonna show you every inch of my heart
I m gonna show my shadow, my shadow
