Floatie
Shadow Person
[VERSE 1]
I’m floating into the sky
Floating across your eye
I won’t even say goodbye
I’m still there if you close your eye
[CHORUS]
Feel like I want you to feel
Try like I want you to try
Say what I told you to say
Blink but I won’t go away
[VERSE 2]
Come back to the ground
Your head is not so sound
Inside you’ll feel me pound
A case of me is going around
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]

Floatie
[CHORUS]
Feel like I want you to feel
Try like I want you to try
Say what I told you to say
Blink but I won’t go away

Back Against The Wall
Shadow Person
[VERSE 1]
You made me think that I hated you
That’s not what I ever wanted to do
You’re living with your back against the wall
Project your feelings right on to me
Making me the enemy, well
You know how to make me feel so small
[CHORUS]
Victim mode, it got you where you needed to go
You against the world is the only thing you know
You ruined me and you ruined you
Is that what you really meant to do? Oh, no.
“The customer is always right”
Even if you picked the fight?
You’re living with your back against the wall
Psychobabble makes you seem so right
It’s all a part of this gaslight, well I…
I feel like shit when it’s you who’s wrong
[CHORUS]
Victim mode, it got you where you needed to go
You against the world is everything thing you know
You ruined me, you ruined you
Is that what you really meant to do? Oh, no.

Don't Fuck This Up
Shadow Person
[VERSE 1]
Hello my dear
Let me rustle up your fear
Squeezing all your nerves
I whisper in your ear,
“The doubt is strong in you.
There’s not a lot you can do”
Practice your self-care
By pulling at your hair
Don’t fuck this up.
[VERSE 2]
I’m up in your face
Forget your bubble
It’s time for trouble
Don’t fuck this up
Don’t fuck this up
[VERSE 3]
When push comes to shove
I’ll take off the gloves
Skinned knees on the ground
I’ll have you gagged and bound
Pushing you with fear
The darkest hour is near
I have full control
Yes, I have full control
Don’t fuck this up
Don’t fuck this up
Don’t fuck this up
Don’t fuck this up

Rahu Rahu
Shadow Person
[VERSE 1]
Get into my head
Get into my mouth
Get into my bones
I’m taking you south
My obsession is strong
I built it to last
My hunger won’t stop
My thirst won’t pass
[CHORUS]
Rahu, Rahu, this cannot last
Rahu, Rahu, you’re way too fast
Rahu, Rahu, snake’s head in pieces
Rahu, Rahu
[VERSE 2]
I’m not what I seem
But I seem so fair
I’ll rob you and I’ll cheat
And leave you lying there
I fight against the light
of the moon and sun
In darkness I will ride
Until I feel I’ve won
[CHORUS]
Rahu, Rahu, this cannot last
Rahu, Rahu, you’re way too fast
Rahu, Rahu, snake head’s in pieces
Rahu, Rahu
[VERSE 3]
They cut off my head
And they took me apart
I can help you get rich
And then I’ll poison your heart
You wanna be famous?
I can get you there
But you will sleep in fear
As you gasp for air
[CHORUS]
Rahu, Rahu, this cannot last
Rahu, Rahu, you’re way too fast
Rahu, Rahu, snake head’s in pieces
Rahu, Rahu
Rahu, Rahu, Rahu
Rahu, Rahu, Rahu
Rahu, Rahu, Rahu

Chimney Sweeper Man
Shadow Person
[VERSE 1]
Chimney sweeper man, Chimney sweeper man
Ill-equipped again, not equipped again
Feeling bad again, oh, so bad again
You feel bad
[CHORUS]
Up on the roof again
Can’t look out, must look in
Chimney soot buried you
Clean it out and you might come through
[VERSE 2]
Dust it off again
Shake it off again
Makes you sad again
Oh, so sad again
Yeah
[CHORUS]
Climb down that hole again
Can’t get out, must get in
Chimney soot buried you
Clean it out you might come through
[VERSE 3]
Chimney Sweeper man, Chimney sweeper man
Feeling clean again, shiny clean again
Don’t let it build up, the ash won’t build up
It’s clean
[CHORUS]
Up on the roof again
Can’t look out, must look in
Chimney soot buried you
Clean it out and you might come through

Finally Leaves My Head
Shadow Person
[VERSE 1]
Well I think I found the problem
The reason for this dread
Maybe I wasn't ready
I just want to get back in bed
And I don't like how it lingers
And it wakes me up at night
The path of least resistance
Just Leads to another fight
[CHORUS]
Can I take that anxious feeling
And make it go away?
Try to overcome its power
And get through another day
[Short Verse]
I can feel my veins all tighten
When I trap myself in doubt
I wanna scream out from the mountain
And find my own way out
[Chorus over Verse Chords]
[CHORUS]
Can I take that anxious feeling
And make it go away?
Try to overcome its power
And get through another day
[VERSE 2]
To explain it isn't easy
But I find I have to try
And find someone to listen
Who can help me to get by
And it often helps me realize
And overcome the dread
Remind myself of courage
The shit finally leaves my head
[Outro]
Leaves my head
The shit leaves out of my head
It finally leaves my head
The dread.

"Shadow Person's latest album carries us on a journey into the depths of the unconscious and the unknown, uncovering the wisdom of the past and interweaving it into the fabric of the present—a bold integration of the timeless and the modern."
-- Jimmy Brown, The Future Venture
