03/10/2006: "Lyrics of the song “Shadow” by The Southland"


I've had a few people email me asking me what the name of the song that has the line "this is how I am and you are and it's real life" So I'm posting my best guess of the lyrics below.


Don’t matter how
rotten you feel
there’s a shadow
in the morning
splits my head wide.
Memory keeps me
back on my heels
like a cold wind
like a shadow
follows me round.

where I
blow a line
between twist and crime
from the angel’s eye
see my distant cry
this is how
I am
and you are
and it’s real life

I take assault
then disappear
look for cover
helicopters
circle above.
We’ve worn this stone
down to a sphere
you keep growing
like a shadow
when the sun’s going down.

where I
blow a line
between twist and crime
from the angel’s eye
see my distant cry
this is how I am
and you are
and it’s real life

where I
blow a line
between twist and crime
it seems plain like day
as the years go by
that this is how
I am
And you are
And it’s real life
