Running From My Shadow Lyrics - Mike Shinoda

Wanna know where I don't go 

When it goes from OK to a oh no 

When it goes from hi five to a low blow 

When it goes from all five to a solo 

Lemme tell you what you don't know 

I been down / so low / I was 

Looking for something but denying that I found it 

There's an elephant sitting in the room 

And I can't find another way to tiptoe around it 

I been doing greater good for a long time 

But I can't find any other way to give now 

I been putting myself on the sideline 

And it's been time so I'm saying can I live now

There are times when I kick myself 

Say I'm not sick but I can't get well 

Say I got this while I chase my tail 

As if they can't tell 

I'm running from my shadow 

Running from my shadow but it's still there chasing me down 

I'll never win the battle 

Never win the battle and I should have known it by now 

Just when I think I've found the end / ohhh 

I'm going back around again / ohhh 

Running from my shadow 

Running from my shadow but it's still there chasing me down 

Photos 

Light side's got a dark side to it 

Daytime flows into night like fluid 

The yin and the yang with a curved line through it 

And none of it's illuminating why I do it 

Maybe I didn't want to chase what was not right 

Maybe I didn't want to face you were offsides 

Thinking I was far away from a crossed line 

But I was giving soft praise to a hard lie 

There are things that you say and you don't say 

My tongue's gotten real tired of me biting it 

'Cause I keep on following the wrong way 

Time's come and I can't keep denying it 

There are times when I kick myself 

Say I'm not sick but I can't get well 

Say I got this while I chase my tail 

As if they can't tell 

I'm running from my shadow 

Running from my shadow but it's still there chasing me down 

I'll never win the battle 

Never win the battle and I should have known it by now 

Just when I think I've found the end / ohhh 

I'm going back around again / ohhh 

Running from my shadow 

Running from my shadow but it's still there chasing me down 

I love you but I know / I gotta let you go 

Dancing with the devil cause she's all I've ever known 

Wanted to pretend / That this time was the end 

Sorry but I guess I gotta let you down again 

Again 

Again 

Running from my shadow now my shadow is my only friend 

Running from my shadow 

But it's still there chasing me down 

Running from my shadow 

Running from my shadow but it's still there chasing me down
