SHADOWS

By Fry Kemper

I've been thinking about you girl

And i know that it’s been weeks

Itching Crazy, sweating buckets

I’m as cleaned up as my sheets

I ain’t caught a wink of sleep, tried to drink to block deceit

And it’s really got me thinking am i needing all this peace

Now my hearts fortified

Warped and torched and stored in brine

Sleeping in a bed of thorns like a fucking porcupine

I’m just another fucking junkie no one thought would make it out

Found a point in dodging needles and some reasons to the doubts

But to fuck with all your reasons

Was this really meant to be

Was I really meant to hurt you girl and cause you all this grief

I've been searching through this dirty world in rust and old debris

And i really hoped to find you girl cus’ you're more pure than me

Cus’ the  only pure about me is what i'm rubbing on my teeth

And i tried to tell you something but it’s like my mind's diseased

So won’t you run

Run away

To a place that i can’t find

For to live this life without you is a death a thousand times

And i just know i didn’t doubt you, when you told me you were mine

But i had to go without you to cure the cold up in my spine

But now i’m stuck

Stuck again

Nor the present or the past

Lived a lifetime full of lessons for a lifetime will they last
