Thirsty Shadow

Intro

Oh Lord

Help me

Please help me now

Chorus

He didn't give me the fire

He didn't give me the fame

He just gave me this bottle

And a spirit I cannot tame

He took my shadow

He took my pride

Left me thirsty with nowhere to hide

Nowhere to hide

Verse 1

Sold my soul on a Tuesday night

Middle of a crossing with no moon in sight

Lined my palms with grease and red wine

Now my hands just shake every single time

Pre-Chorus

The wood don't sing

The steel don't cry

My throat is burning

And the well is dry

Chorus

He didn't give me the fire

He didn't give me the fame

He just gave me this bottle

And a spirit I cannot tame

He took my shadow

He took my pride

Left me thirsty with nowhere to hide

Nowhere to hide

Verse 2

I wanted strings that scream and shout

Instead he turned my pockets inside out

Traded my grace for a jug of rye

Bitter bubbles are the reason I cry

Pre-Chorus

The wood don't sing

The steel don't cry

My throat is burning

And the well is dry

Bridge

Stumbling

Staring

Searching for the light

Thick mud on my heels

Tall tales in my head

Thick haze in my eyes

He won the deal and I lost the thread

He won the deal and I lost my bread

Chorus

He didn't give me the fire

He didn't give me the fame

He just gave me this bottle

And a spirit I cannot tame

He took my shadow

He took my pride

Left me thirsty with nowhere to hide

Nowhere to hide

Hook

Bitter juice

Bad juice

Cold blue juice

Bitter juice

Bad juice

Cold blue juice

Chorus

He didn't give me the fire

He didn't give me the fame

He just gave me this bottle

And a spirit I cannot tame

He took my shadow

He took my pride

Left me thirsty with nowhere to hide

Nowhere to hide
