Shadow Boxer
[Verse] The clock ticks loud like a beating drum A shadow looms where the light won’t come I hold my breath I count to three But the fear’s a ghost it won’t let me be [Chorus] I’m a shadow boxer fighting air Swinging fists at what’s not there If the end comes let it dare I’m alive alive I swear [Verse 2] Stars explode in a silent sky I chase their echoes I don’t know why The dark is thick but my heart’s on fire I’ll outrun the edge of that quiet wire [Prechorus] What is the end but a door to start What is fear but a splintered heart [Chorus] I’m a shadow boxer fighting air Swinging fists at what’s not there If the end comes let it dare I’m alive alive I swear [Bridge] I see my face in the river’s flow It fades and ripples but it won’t let go Time’s a thief with a crooked smile But I’ll dance with it for a little while
