The Seeker + the Shadow

Books from floor to ceiling
They cover me like a tent
That one just said something
But if I pull it
The tent will come down

I knew I never felt like I belonged
But hearing this from you, it feels wrong
My other half, don't leave me stranded
I know I'm changing but I can't handle it

That book, it's that book
It's opening, it's telling me that I'm not who I was to be
(I've a job to Seek)

I'd like to erase the image of your silhouette
Run away from what I know
All of your teachings
Suppress your thoughts that are speaking to me
I will not care, should you disagree
Oh, and if you talk too much I will cut you off
Allow myself to speak, oh

Oh no, it's not a phase
Take me to that place
There is more to this race
I'm told to seek this place of those who cry
Those who mourn and those who fly

Their hollow center displays the color of their mind
(A hollow center is the color of the mind)
While there are no breaks in life, I must live in disguise
Lie to those I've come to like

Illuminating with the color of their minds
Shadows living unfulfilling lives

I want it to be my life
I want it to be my life

There's no use in shame
It's always gotten in the way
There's no use in shame
It's always gotten in the way

There's no use in shame
It's always gotten in the way
There's no use in shame
It's always getting in the way

There's no use in shame
It's always gotten in the way
There's no use in shame
Will it ever fade away?
