Shadowland from TEST TIME by Happy Chichester

Shadowland

She’s looking for,
Girl she don’t own no more,
Can’t afford to lose.

In a shadowland,
Unoffered and unplanned,
What does she do?

Could stay her eye,
What’s real and what’s a lie,
Couldn’t bridge the two.

In a shadowland,
In the shadow of a man,
She didn’t choose.

He’s working for,
Man that expects support,
For his abuse.

His baggage weighs,
What she carries every day,
What does he do?

Could stay her eye,
What’s real and what’s a lie,
She’s human, too.

In a shadowland,
In the shadow of a man,
She didn’t choose.

She’s not in right now.
Please enjoy the silence.
She don’t want to talk about it.

Stop voting for,
Man that expects support,
For his abuse.

Keep fighting for,
Girl he don’t respect no more,
Can’t afford to lose.

Could stay her eye,
What’s real and what’s a lie,
She’s a human too.

In a shadowland,
In the shadow of a man,
She did not choose.

She’s in another world right now.
She don’t want to talk about it.
