I'm choking up again

Tell me friend, when do shadows end

I can't see over them, wondering

When the mind gives in

I have unhealthy attractions

To the pain that never mends

If I could write the light a single note

It'd say"when do shadows end?"

Straining voices they hear it all

Next in line can you fix it all

Shove a pill down my throat and say

Have another beautiful day

I'm choking up again

Tell me friend, when do shadows end

I can't see over them, wondering

When the mind gives in

I have unhealthy attractions

To the pain that never mends

If I could write the light a single note

It'd say"when do shadows end?"

Put me in a room with a silver tray

Smile and nod, then turn away

Tell me everything is in my head

Fuck your pills I spit em out instead

I'm choking up again

Tell me friend, when do shadows end

I can't see over them, wondering

When the mind gives in

I have unhealthy attractions

To the pain that never mends

If I could write the light a single note

It'd say"when do shadows end?"

Bottom of the bottle

Fall to dark but show the light of day

I wouldn't have it any other way

I'm choking up again

Tell me friend, when do shadows end

I can't see over them, wondering

When the mind gives in

I have unhealthy attractions

To the pain that never mends

If I could write the light a single note

It'd say"when do shadows end?"
