Leave Me In Your Shadow
Can’t stop won’t stop singing this song
 No memories of perfect
 Only of the storm
 Not of the storm behind the mountains
 Where my heart delights
 But the one poured out of segregated fountains
 
 Can’t know me won’t know me
 Refusing to oblige
 You want to leave me ignorant 
 Or maybe traumatized 
 You want to take my joy away
 All work and no play
 
 Can’t admit won’t admit
 That you’re the one who can’t commit
 You’ve told me lies
 Empty promises
 Avoided my cries
 Left me bottomless
 
 Can’t deny won’t deny
 I love the way you perfectly lie
 You know my potential
 And yet you fail to believe
 It’s only a matter of time before the caged bird spreads her wings
