Текст песни «Mike Shinoda - Running From My Shadow»

(feat. grandson)

Wanna know where I dont go
When it goes from OK to a oh no
When it goes from hi five to a low blow
When it goes from all five to a solo
Lemme tell you what you dont know
I been down / so low / I was
Looking for something but denying that I found it
Theres an elephant sitting in the room
And I cant find another way to tiptoe around it
I been doing greater good for a long time
But I cant find any other way to give now
I been putting myself on the sideline
And its been time so Im saying can I live now

There are times when I kick myself
Say Im not sick but I cant get well
Say I got this while I chase my tail
As if they cant tell

I'm running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but its still there chasing me down
Ill never win the battle
Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
Just when I think Ive found the end / ohhh
Im going back around again / ohhh
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but its still there chasing me down

Light sides got a dark side to it
Daytime flows into night like fluid
The yin and the yang with a curved line through it
And none of its illuminating why I do it
Maybe I didnt want to chase what was not right
Maybe I didnt want to face you were offsides
Thinking I was far away from a crossed line
But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie
There are things that you say and you dont say
My tongues gotten real tired of me biting it
Cause I keep on following the wrong way
Times come and I cant keep denying it
There are times when I kick myself
Say Im not sick but I cant get well
Say I got this while I chase my tail
As if they cant tell

I'm running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but its still there chasing me down
Ill never win the battle
Never win the battle and I should have known it by now
Just when I think Ive found the end / ohhh
Im going back around again / ohhh
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but its still there chasing me down

I love you but I know / I gotta let you go
Dancing with the devil cause shes all Ive ever known
Wanted to pretend / That this time was the end
Sorry but I guess I gotta let you down again
Again
Again
Running from my shadow now my shadow is my only friend

Running from my shadow
But its still there chasing me down
Running from my shadow
Running from my shadow but its still there chasing me down
