In Your Shadows

I’m biting my tongue again, always ignored
Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise
Settled for second best, no reward
And I wasn’t one to steal the spotlight

I want what is mine
Here’s where I draw the line

Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow
Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow

Always right by your side, never was fair
How you kept me out of the picture
I missed my chance to shine, not that you care
I’ve proven I’m the better actor now

I want what is mine
Here’s where I draw the line

Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow
Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow

I wanted to be heard
I wanted to be
I wanted to be seen
But I, was in your shadow

I’m barely clinging to
My last thread of sanity
This I swear to you
No longer will you silence me

Standing on the sidelines
Knowing all along the glory should be mine
One chance to outshine
And now it seems I’m running out of time
As envy turns to violence
One last attempt to gain what should be mine

Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow
Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow
Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow
Don’t speak, breathe or say a word, that’s life in your shadow
