Key Eb / R&B/Rap
Verse 1:
Spent twelve hours talking of love
Another twelve on how to love him
Spent seven days being quite smooth
Then four weeks smoothing his brows
Verse 2:
Spent a quarter saying he loves me
Within twelve months same to twelve others
Will lose ten years if I don’t run
Then ten decades if I relapse
Chorus:
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
Rap:
When I met him
I never knew
He was a cartoon from the papers
Spent our meetings talking about
How to care for him, to touch him, to love him
Just himself and his good looks
I’d felt that
High self esteem
And worth isn’t bad
But he kept his money, spent my money
Just to show that I care
Prove my love for him, open handed
Trying to make it work
Chose to consider him
Never knowing I was deceiving myself
And wasting my time
Spent my absence sleezing about
Every friend of mine, anyone that cares
Super-visible, invincible
Just out to satisfy himself
Pondering then pontificate
About the misery
And mystery in this package
Could spend my whole life
Guilty and remorse
Weak to change anything
Bleak, bleating to wring
Weighted against in this ring
Wishing to relive my life
Chorus:
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
Bridge:
Would love to spend ten centuries
With a guy who is real
Why waste my gross with a gross
When I’ve got gross options
Would love to spend ten centuries
With a guy who is real
Why waste my gross with a gross
When I’ve got gross options
Chorus:
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
He’s not even a shadow
He’s not even a shadow
Just caricature
Just caricature
Verse 3:
Spent sixty seconds on reminisce
Finally sixty minutes to get rid of him

Key C# / Rock
Verse 1:
I’ve toiled, I’ve slaved
I’ve ran but couldn’t hide
You just stay and ruin me
You just pierce me through
But you just won’t sly me
You rather sustain me through
Chorus:
If I could run away
If I could disappear
If I could be invincible
And cease from you
Bridge 1:
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Verse:
I’ve sheared, I’ve shaved
I’ve died, but still here
You just won’t leave me be
You just grip and roughen me
But you just won’t release me
You rather grin impassively
Chorus:
If I could fly away
If I could shield myself
If I could be invincible
And cease from you
Bridge 1:
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Bridge 2:
Now that I’ve conquered you
Where’s your haughtiness?
Who has conquered you?
Wish you won’t be silent
After all you’ve been
Now you’re stiff and dead
Who has frozen you?
Wish you won’t be silent
Bridge 1:
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

Rebflora Lagos, Nigeria
"I was born an off-pitch singer! The mentality that singing was meant to be done on one’s normal voice (talking range or
normal range), set me up as unable to sing. Then also, when I was in the choir, I found myself forcing me to sing normal; it’s okay because it's a group, but few times I’d wished for something un-normal." - rebekahflora.com/2016/09/hey-and-oblivion.html
Now,here they are!
