Running from the Shadows

Wake up in an alley, bottle in my hand

Crawling to the sidewalk just to find out where I am

On and on, I'm losing track of who I am

Falling for the same old trick that's screwing with my head

Got a fat lip, but I'm sure I'll live with that

All in all, I think this was a test for my own sake

Driving past the liquor store, I hit the gas

Looking in the rearview mirror all my past mistakes

Running from the shadows in my brain

Blaming all bad choices in the past

Memories of the steps I took that led to my wrong turn

You don't think I feel ashamed?

4:00 a.m., my eye's been open for three days

TV's on, but nothing seems to help me ease my pain

Toss and turn in bed until the sun comes in

One more day pretending I am fine while I'm in hell

Running from the shadows in my brain

Blaming all bad choices in the past

Memories of the steps I took that led to my wrong turn

You don't think I feel ashamed?

No way, not again

Not after the mess I had to clean

No way, never back again

You don't think I learned it well?

Running from the shadows in my brain

Blaming all bad choices in the past

Memories of the steps I took that led to my wrong turn

You don't think I'm shamed?

Running from the shadows in my brain

Blaming all bad choices in the past

Memories of the steps I took that fill my head

They wanna hear it, but just don't know how

I came back from the dead
