Shadows In Hiding - Collaboration With Jake Ponce

Written by: David William Breidenthal and Jake Ponce D: Blessed breeze sweeps over us J: Whenever I leave the door ajar at night, J: I felt myself grow pale from the humid howls D: Gravity pulls us down to the ground J: Shadows in hiding have been found J: Shadows in hiding have been found J: There were irises staring into mine D: The twinkle in your eyes were like stars that shine D: When I forgot to lock the gate behind me, D: I felt this sensation of indignation D: I felt guilt overflow in me contritely...woefully... J: My fists trembled and I could see the roses J: Split from their vines, out my flesh and into your cells J & D: Shadows in hiding have been exposed J: Now I stand in front of the mirror, perplexed J: At the man that I thought has ceased D: The man that lingers in my dreams J: The man I know I no longer could be D: The Earth is slowly breaking at the seams J: Dividing me into sheets of empty sins D: But he soon vanished from sight J: Shadows in hiding have been found D: And blended with the pale, cruel moonlight J: Clouds then rise to whisper J: That all this and I are done… J & D: Shadows in hiding are skipping to and fro J & D: Shadows in hiding are sinking exceedingly low D: The doubts possess me…hope lost its shine and good luck lost its fortune D: The moon begins to reflect my sorrow-whelmed face D: Like a two-sided mirror, revealing to me my flaws and wrinkles J: As I implore the forces to grant me borrowed life J: And with a grin, I'll paint tomorrow's sky J & D: Shadows in hiding coil and let out a cry J & D: Shadows in hiding reach from on high D: The sun is wearing a mask of disdain and I'm not done with this race J: There is an ache holding me captive… J: There is a force keeping me in place D: I’m trying so desperately to keep pace D: I'm trying to keep a steady pace with my heartbeats, sending me tingles D: Down my spine...down my spine… J & D: Shadows in hiding are serpentine, moving through me J & D: Shadows in hiding was crawling down my spine, never leaving me be D: Set me free, set me free D: Feeling these Goosebumps – I’ve lost track of time D: The church bells peacefully chime J: And I can hear the advances of the clocks J: On pale green horses, saying they'll meet me at the docks D: Feeling like I'm honestly living in the dumps J: With my chest hacked open like a cellar J: And I'm left alone with my last glass of the finest wine J & D: These shadows in hiding – I refuse to claim it as mine J: Yet, the shadows in hiding have been found D: Open up the cage and let me take flight, I won't heat up in rage D: I'm just adjusting to this difficult stage D: Are you on the same page? D & J: Soon, we’ll unveil the shadows in hiding D: It will graze in the maze of mystifying wonders…It might take days J: Perhaps I should get going J: To see the northern lights down the forest haze
