Shadows - Yelawolf, Joshua Hedley

Memories of shadows haunt me

From the years when I was young

Things that used to terrify me

Are the things, that I’ve become

There’s a dark moon in the clouds

Misty fog in the swamp

Crickets chirpin' outside my window

The water it thumps in the bathroom sink down the hall

The lights flicker sometimes

The wind is howling, the dogs are growling way deep in the pines

A passin' car on the distant road, the only thing running

Nightmares in my sleep, the Sandman is coming

I see the ghost in the red cloak, the shadows are taking shape

The sound of a faint voice, lost and full of hate

Dry leaves crumble under the feet of the reaper

The limbs tap on my window, like the nails of a creature

Tales of goblins and fairies, a sacrifice on the prairie

A murderer that escaped, I’m disillusioned and weary

Lightning strikes on the hill, illuminating the cabin

The old man on the porch, evil and quietly laughing

Surrounded by demons

I’m an angel and they all want me

And to this day …
