Shadows

[Verse 1]
I never rapped for fame, never rapped for babes
I look in the mirror here to play charades
I'm all alone in this cold, wet cell
But it still feels like a boiling hell
Why should I fight if there's nothing to gain?
This loneliness causes so much pain
They don't know the damage they did
They don't care, they think they're good
They're the face of evil, they make Satan cringe
There's nothing to watch, nothing to binge
But my own reflection, on this dirty glass
I've forgotten the fuckin texture of grass

[Chorus]
I'm locked away, locked away
There's no hope, no reason to pray
Just tell the trio to let me free
Maybe they'll hear you and finally see
Maybe they'll come back and let me go
I wanna see something besides my shadow

[Verse 2]
I'm broken apart, there's nothing left to smash
Just sweep me up and throw me in the trash
Mop the floor and erase my stench
Bury my body in a desolate trench
I've been here enough, there's not a sliver of hope
There's nothing to help, nothing to cope
What's the point of living when you're all alone?
What's the point of it all when you're taken from your throne?
My kingdom is doomed, my people are screwed
This ain't how my story was supposed to conclude
Put your hand on my chest and feel my heartbeat
It's telling you I'll never accept defeat

[Chorus]
I'm locked away, locked away
There's no hope, no reason to pray
Just tell the trio to let me free
Maybe they'll hear you and finally see
Maybe they'll come back and let me go
I wanna see something besides my shadow

[Verse 3]
Take my hand, take the pain away
Give me the sword so I can slay
Fury is filling in my veins
I will have them shackled by chains
Call me sick, call me twisted
But those motherfuckers shouldn't've ever existed
They're making my life a living hell
But soon enough I'll break out of my shell
I'm not defenseless, I'm not weak
Getting justice is all I seek
I am here to defend my name
Cancel me all you want, but I'll stay the same (motherfuckers!)

[Chorus]
I'm locked away, locked away
There's no hope, no reason to pray
Just tell the trio to let me free
Maybe they'll hear you and finally see
Maybe they'll come back and let me go
I wanna see something besides my shadow

[Verse 4]
Take that key and open this madness
Inside you'll find bottled up sadness
But now that you're here its teeming with gladness
Your arms are extending out to me
I'll grab them because you're setting me free
In the end, you really cared
This is a story that needs to be shared
Two close Friends, a bond unbroken
Not a single word left unspoken
Not a day left heartbroken
The sun will rise on a brand new chapter
I'm no longer in the hands of a captor
I can see the light, I can see the truth
Thank you for helping me while I'm still in my youth​
