Shadow Therapy

[Verse 1]
Had a meeting with my shadows, conference in the pitch
They whispered all my failures, stitched me with the itch
Tried to run, but the dark too thick,
Tried to fight, but my hands don't stick

Mirror cracked, and it laughed at me,
Told me, "Boy, you ain't free till you see"
So I pulled up a chair, gave my pain a name
Said, "If we gon' live, we gon' play the same game"

[Prechorus]
Chains on my chest, but I’m breathing slow
Roots in the dirt, that's how flowers grow

[Chorus]
I’m making friends with my demons, yeah, we breaking bread
Healing in the dark, where the brave ones tread
Dancing with the scars, I ain't running no more
Shadow therapy, that's what the pain's for

[Verse 2]
Night turned preacher, moon took the mic
Taught me how to hug the fear, hold it tight
"Your tears make rivers, rivers bring life,
Storms in the heart feed the fire inside"

I wrote a letter to my younger ghost
Told him, "You ain't broken, just a little too close
To the edge, to the hurt, but it's shaping the glow
Every crack in your soul, that's where the light shows"
