You burn a fire in my lungs rising my blood pressure I throw up the blood and leave it for my demons to clean up. There's a shadow in my body and I'm not sure if it's your old one that i borrowed a while back you sleep in my arteries like you sleep in skate parks You bite my tongue and hit strangers' popcorn cans. I know you've changed your clothes because I still have your shadow and his hair is a little shorter your screaming but I can't open my mouth your taking a baseball bat to my heart and yet you don't give me any band aids for the scares you left me.

Your Shadow
You burn a fire in my lungs rising my blood pressure I throw up the blood and leave it for my demons to clean up. There's a shadow in my body and I'm not sure if it's your old one that i borrowed a while back you sleep in my arteries like you sleep in skate parks You bite my tongue and hit strangers' popcorn cans. I know you've changed your clothes because I still have your shadow and his hair is a little shorter your screaming but I can't open my mouth your taking a baseball bat to my heart and yet you don't give me any band aids for the scares you left me.
