about
This is my first self-produced single. I’ve been afraid of producing since I began releasing music. This year I decided to face my own shadows & dive in. It felt like going into a haunted house and in the end I learned that I LOVE haunted houses.

lyrics
Shadows
Sometimes we’re really the monster
who won’t feel things to the bottom
Stop running from your shadows
we’ve all got em
We live in a world gone mad
same way that we always have
Still stuck in the same old patterns
but now the loops go twice as fast
React to the way things seem
Keep the story on repeat
Can’t tell which parts are in our heads
replaying on a screen
(chorus)
We know it’s a mess outside
oh so many reasons why
Heads down on a doomscroll carousel
that eats us all alive
React to the way things seem
Blame another enemy
Can’t tell which ones are in our heads
replaying their old scenes
(chorus)
I had ghosts in my head
they used to tell me stories I believed
They were bits of old code that kept me on repeat
Darling we are so automatic
are we humans or machines
run by old parts we don’t want to see?
(chorus)
Sometimes we’re really the monster
who won’t feel things to the bottom
Stop running from your shadows
we’ve all got em
We live in a world gone mad
same way that we always have
Still stuck in the same old patterns
but now the loops go twice as fast
React to the way things seem
Keep the story on repeat
Can’t tell which parts are in our heads
replaying on a screen
(chorus)
We know it’s a mess outside
oh so many reasons why
Heads down on a doomscroll carousel
that eats us all alive
React to the way things seem
Blame another enemy
Can’t tell which ones are in our heads
replaying their old scenes
(chorus)
I had ghosts in my head
they used to tell me stories I believed
They were bits of old code that kept me on repeat
Darling we are so automatic
are we humans or machines
run by old parts we don’t want to see?
(chorus)
