Shadowed Shite


Stay in the shadows to keep out of the light

Don't let them see that you are up to no good

When somebody asks you how you are doing

They are only asking to find out your mood


Keep them in the dark and be the shadow man

It doesn't really matter to them if you say you are okay

Only concern yourself by telling them lies

When no one cares if you are doing alright


I am now the shadow man with whatever I say

I don't get transfixed with trivialities anymore

People aren't worth the effort and don't really care

How you are feeling or what you are doing with your life


They are only inquiring to make themselves feel alright

It's just a passing phrase and a wasted daily phase 

Because if you actually told them how you really feel

You would lose their attention straight away


So the next time someone ask how you are

Tell them to go fuck themselves and you're doing just fine

They're not worth the bother and don't want to hear you whine

About how your life is going so bad and you are at your wits end


They listen without hearing and then forget what you just said

And go on with their own daily grind with thoughts of their own

So what I often do is change the conversation around

that often confuses them and then they close up


Not wanting you to know all about their complicated lives

And they do exactly what I suggest you should and tell you lies

This is the way things are in this day and age

People drive me crazy I just go into a rant and rave on


Leaving them dumbfounded with nothing to say

Most people drive me mad to a blistering rage

I can't stand falseness with small talk and tripe

So I talk about the weather and basic shadowed shite
