In The Shade

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse] Here, In the breeze, My thought lives, Toss and turn, I try to learn, From the mistakes of the past-me, But these habits, Are so, so hard, Hard to reconcile, Encoded, Encrypted, I can't break free of the malady, I push my duties back, I'll just deal with it, Another day... [Instrumental Interlude] [Verse] Who cares any way? If I push it back, And close my eyes, I pretend it's all fine, ...Even when it ain't... If I ignore these thorns, Do they burn me any less? Agony comes in many forms, I guess, And the stress of avoiding stress, Is makin' a mess, oh... I just want some control, Of the tumultuous sinkhole, ...In my mind, [Pre-Chorus] I can wish my worries away, And pesky reality, Will never find me, [Chorus] Oh, oh, What a broken train of thought, Derailing responsibility, Cause it's too much, To process, Ohhhh, oh oh, I can't find the tracks again, And frankly, I don't see why, I should want to, Cause life's simpler, When I avoid the irritants, And never follow through, [Breakdown] [Hook] In, The, Shade, My troubles, Fade... Away... (Away) Stay, Away, Oh, oooh-ooh-ooooohhh--ooo oo oo ooo, In the shade... [Interlude] [Bridge] Oh, you know... In the shade, Respite is hard to break, Take a stop to drink, But don't let your feet sink, Nah, don't let em' sink... [Chorus] Oh, oh, What a broken train of thought, Derailing responsibility, Cause it's too much, To process, Ohhhh, oh oh, I can't find the tracks again, And frankly, I don't see why, I should want to, Cause life's simpler, When I avoid the irritants, And never follow through, [Chorus] I said, Ohhhh, oh oh, I can't find the tracks again, And frankly, I don't see why, I should want to, Cause life's simpler, When I avoid the irritants, Yeah, life's simpler, Avoiding irritants, If I avoid the irritants, And never follow through, [Refrain] In, The, Shade, My troubles, Multiply, And it gets harder and harder, But something inside me, Is broken, I think, [Outro] Cause I can't leave, And I don't know if I want to...
