Shadow by Cinthia Ponce

Shadow by Cinthia Ponce - Woo, every day I wondered how far I would go. I faced reality and found myself here. Yeah, hmm, there's a shadow at my feet I look down and she's even bigger I run, but the shadow chases me As dark as the intensity of the light I'm scared, flying so it's scary No one told me up here I was so alone I can jump in the air, but I can fall too Now I know that running away can also be an option (pause) People say it's great to be in this bright light But my growing shadow swallows me up and turns into a monster Up, higher and higher and higher I climb higher and higher and I'm overcome with vertigo I climb, I climb and I hate it (I pray, I pray, hoping to stay well) By the time I'm flying as high as I wanted to fly My shadow grows in that blinding, desolate light Please don't let me shine Don't let me fall Don't let me fly Now I'm afraid The moment I look my worst It's also the moment I fly the highest Please don't let me shine Don't let me fall Don't let me fly Now I'm afraid Don't let me shine Try to smile, why are you so hesitant? Wasn't that what you were waiting for? Or then cry, what are you afraid of? Wasn't that what you wanted? The life you hoped for, the life you wished for The life you chose: You got it all with no regrets. And, besides, you got a mansion, fancy cars, big rings All the things you always wanted So what's the problem? Enjoy them Or just let them go, right? So run away, or stop Stop crying and choose one or the other Are you saying I never warned you? (Yeah, yeah) Are you asking me if I really didn't know? (Oh, no) I'm just gonna take everything you've got, no matter what it is Well, there are times when your rest can be your undoing Do you finally get it? Giving your best means giving your all every time Excerpt from the shadow song. Bangtan
