Chorus: I got shade swallowing sickness
shade swallowing sickness
I’m afraid to lose it, I’m afraid to get it again
drank a shadow and I can’t reach where it itches
Drank a shadow, thought it was a snake
and then I jumped right out and slid behind myself
It’s easy when the sun is high
to shine on what you have done
but for the grief inside you
you better hide ’cause your heart gives no relief
(Chorus)
Drank a shadow, thought it was a bird
then I jumped right out and flew behind myself
If I could trap the night, I would drink it ’til I was full
but the soul I let you steal has left such a hole to be filled
(Chorus)
