Shadows – Ruth B. (from “Dear White People 2” soundtrack)

Pour yourself another drink Light a cigarette and let the smoke hide you Medicate the pain away Live to see another day Sleep the whole night through
Your secret just feed it God knows how much you need it
Why you gotta hide? Why you gotta hide? Why you gotta run? Watcha gotta lose? Watcha gotta lose? All is said and done Why you gotta pray? What’s gonna take for you to be someone? Everybody knows, your shadow will go when the light goes When the light goes
Kiss yourself another stranger ‘Cause you know you love the danger, don’t you? Give yourself to someone new every night Is what you do
Your secret just feed it God knows how much you need it
Why you gotta hide? Why you gotta hide? Why you gotta run? Watcha gotta lose? Watcha gotta lose? All is said and done Why you gotta pray What’s gonna take for you to be someone? Everybody knows, your shadow will go when the light goes When the light goes
When the light goes When the light goes When the light goes When the light goes When the light goes When the light goes
Only you know Your shadows will go when the light goes When the light goes When the light goes When the light goes When the light goes
