Minimalistic
[Verse 1]
Sometimes in the middle of the night
I wake up to a pain inside of my eyes
In my head so deep, deep
And it just won't subside
And no matter what I do, no matter what I take
Persistent memories, they never die
I think I see a light, a door to get me out
But then it crashes and burns and it sounds like

[Chorus]
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes the shadow doesn’t go away, won't go away
Sometimes the past comes back
And the memories don't go away, won’t go away

[Interlude]
The voice, the voice in your head
Tells you the same thing over and over again

[Verse 2]
After all is said and done I look back
Nothing left undone, no tears
No regrets, lessons learned
But little benefit
Compared to what I could have been
If I had just said no
But now it haunts me through the night
And I can't look back, no, I won't look back
A happy smile and my best foot forth, I press on
Into another day
Leave it all behind, leave it on the floor and just try to forget
Things'll turn out fine
Then, like clockwork, waiting for me
As I sleep is a catastrophe
Ripping through like a hurricane flooding my mind
With images of everything that happened to me
[Chorus]
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes the shadow doesn't go away, won't go away
Sometimes the past comes back
And the memories don't go away, won't go away

[Bridge]
Another night goes passing by
You’re stuck in an endless cycle
And every day you wake up
Wondering was it worthwhile?
Every step you try to take
You always make more mistakes
Yeah, every step you try to take
Winds up yet another big mistake
And every step you try to take
You always make more mistakes
Yeah, every step you try to take
Winds up yet another big mistake

[Chorus]
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes the shadow doesn’t go away, won't go away
Sometimes the past comes back
And the memories don’t go away, won't go away
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes the shadow doesn't go away, won't go away
Sometimes the past comes back
And the memories don’t go away, won't go away
[Outro]
Every step you try to take
You always make more mistakes
Yeah, every step you try to take
Winds up yet another big mistake
