[Verse] Night falls heavy Like a stone on my chest He hunts for happy He never rests Got a hunger for the light Steals it from your soul Turns your day to night Takes his wicked toll [Prechorus] He whispers sweet nothings Promises a dream But he just wants your feelings Every joyful gleam [Chorus] Gotta run gotta hide From the shadow king Keep my love deep inside The only song I sing He wants my joy he wants my peace He wants my everything But my love for her won't cease It's the only hope I bring [Verse 2] He drains the laughter From the innocent child Leaves a hollow after Turns their spirit wild He's a thief of sunshine A devourer of bliss But this heart of mine He will never kiss [Prechorus] He’s always watching From the corners of my eye His dark net is catching Every passing sigh [Chorus] Gotta run gotta hide From the shadow king Keep my love deep inside The only song I sing He wants my joy he wants my peace He wants my everything But my love for her won't cease It's the only hope I bring [Bridge] [Instrumental | heavy blues | virtuoso] [Final Chorus] Gotta run gotta hide From the shadow king Keep my love deep inside The only song I sing He wants my joy he wants my peace He wants my everything But my love for her won't cease It's the only hope I bring [End]
