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 Floatie Floatie Floatie 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
