The Umbra

The shadows won
The day is done
The odds have got us beat

Keep turning tricks
To get that fix
Whoring up and down the street

The umbra
The darkest part of the dark
The darkest thought
You didn’t want

And in the evening glow
To pass the
Time away

We chase shadows
Into the light
Until they’re merely shade

We were entangled
To see what we could see

But we ran out of space
While playing games
Of what might be

The umbra
The darkest part of the dark
The darkest thought
You didn’t want

But they follow you
Just the same
They follow you
Just the same

Oh they follow you
Just the same
Oh they follow you
Night and day

Keep turning pages over
Blaming all along the way
Sent to find a four-leaf clover
As it’s sure to fuck me over

The umbra
The darkest part of the dark
The darkest thought
You didn’t want

But they follow you
Just the same
They follow you
Just the same
