Surrounded by darkness

There’s no escape

Through the tunnels

Down the trap

Captured souls

Around the map

Sold to work

They won’t come back

Indulgent vices

Lured them in

Now just ghosts

To haunt within

What’s left is roses

Wilting thin

Fallen petals

With no name

The Shanghaied men

That Portland claimed

I’m one with the road

the faster I peddle

the faster I go

on my single speed

converted peugeot

the road my friend

the hummer my foe

each time they pass

I let ‘em know

I’ll jump the lights

and beat ‘em down the road

all you bikes

know how it goes

just one

my shadows on the run
he jumped the gun
when I left the ground
without the light
he won’t be found

a bugger
in the least
but nonetheless
a part of me
when I was one
he came across
the first few steps
when I first walked
from then on
we were friends
searching for adventure
way off in neverland

my shadows on the run
he jumped the gun
when I left the ground
without the light
he won’t be found

just like me
a little tease
tink thinks hes
a spitting image
just without
the definition
unless reflected
in the water
he looks just like me
just slightly older
I wonder where
my shadow went
I wonder why
he’s not content

my shadows on the run
he jumped the gun
when I left the ground
without the light
he won’t be found
