  • I know I'm afraid, I know I'm afraid,
    I'm drunk and I'm tired,
    And the city I walk in, the city I walk in,
    It feels like it swallows,
    With my hand in my pocket,
    I feel like a shadow, I feel like a shadow.

    Though I'm afraid,
    Afraid that I have made mistakes.
    Now there's nothing here for me.
    The things you once told me,
    The thoughts you once gave me,
    Sound like the wind in my ears
    That blows out the knots I've got in my long brown hair.

    I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that.
    What did you whisper in my ear?
    What did you tell me that I wanted to hear?
    What was the answer you wanted me to find out?
    There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies

    Brought back something,
    A bit for you, a bit for everyone.
    You and all your pieces,
    You and all your pieces made me come,
    And all that love you gave was strong enough to make me stay and now it will be alright.

    I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that.
    I feel like the shadows I don't even bother for anymore than that.

    What did you whisper in my ear?
    What was the answer you wanted me to find out?
    There's no lies, the lies, the lies, the lies Writer/s: EMILY CAMILLE KOKAL, JENNIFER LEE LINDBERG, STELLA ZOFIA MOZGAWA, THERESA BECKER-WAYMAN
