Lyrics The Relapse Symphony – Shadows

I didn’t see the darkness as it came
Rushing like a wave all over me
One second there was sun, the next there was none

I didn’t feel the pressure on my back

I never meant to let you down but
I’ll never let them take me now
The dream is dust
The deed is done
And I’ve got my hands around the gun

I never meant to play this part
And I never meant to break your heart
But, here in the shadows we decide
Either we’re dead or we survive

I think you’re getting close to seeing now
It’s you and me against everybody else
And I don’t wanna doubt that you won’t make a sound

And I could pretend I was sorry, yeah
And I could pretend that it hurt so bad
But, everything I did
I’d do it all again (I’d do it all again!)

I never meant to let you down but
I’ll never let them take me now
The dream is dust
The deed is done
And I’ve got my hands around the gun

I never meant to play this part
And I never meant to break your heart
But, here in the shadows we decide

I’ve got a darkness deep inside
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
But, here in the shadows, I’m alive
(Hey! Hey! Hey!)
So, if you’re looking for me just look straight down
It’s here in the shadows I’ll be found

I never meant to let you down
But I’ll never let them take me now
Here in the shadows we decide
Either were dead or we survive

I never meant to let you down but
I’ll never let them take me now
The dream is dust
The deed is done
And I’ve got my hands around the gun

I never meant to play this part
And I never meant to break your heart
But, here in the shadows we decide
Either we’re dead or we survive
