broken shadow

Lyrics

Seventeen, stuck in someone else’s frame
Carrying a world full of fucking pain
One too many problems, they won’t let him breathe
But when he’s with his mate, he fucking believes
He’s been walking in shadows, lost in the dark
Trying to find a spark, somewhere to start
But every laugh was stolen, every smile borrowed
Till tonight, tomorrow don’t feel so hollow
(Chorus)
Outta his shadow, he’s breaking the chain
With his mate by his side, he’s feeling no pain
Laughing louder, running wild, alive
For the first time in years, he fucking survives
(Verse 2)
The weight of the world, it’s heavy as hell
But jokes and cigarettes make the darkness swell
A beer in his hand, the night on their side
For once, he doesn’t have to fucking hide
They talk about dreams, about getting away
The shitty small town, the bills they can’t pay
But for now it’s just jokes, and fighting the gloom
For one fleeting night, the shadows assume
(Chorus)
Outta his shadow, he’s breaking the chain
With his mate by his side, he’s feeling no pain
Laughing louder, running wild, alive
For the first time in years, he fucking survives
(Bridge)
No more hiding, no more fear
The darkness can’t touch what he holds near
And yeah, life’s a mess, yeah, it’s full of fights
But he’s got someone to burn through the nights
(Chorus / Outro)
Outta his shadow, he’s breaking the chain
With his mate by his side, he’s feeling no pain
Laughing louder, running wild, alive
Seventeen and finally fucking alive
