She was a shadow of herself,
She was the shadow in herself.
She was shadow,
Shadow.
Do you hear me, I'm really not so bad,
The voice inside that makes you think you're mad.
Do you hear the things I whisper in the dark,
Do you heed me or think me like a shark....
Dark deadly killer of the deep,
Voice that wakes you from your sleep.
I know you've been taught to fear,
I know you think the cost of heeding would be dear.
I know your thoughts, I sift them all
And dance on your pain, it's quite a ball.
I know you think that to listen would be wrong,
Like countless sailors dying to a siren song.
But think on me for just a while,
Am I really full of guile?
Am I really the thing you should shut out
Or am I a healthy voice of doubt...
I hide behind, that much is true,
But is it to harm, or to protect you?
In the deep, deep dark of the night,
Where there is no bright sunlight.
I warn you of the things that hide,
I nudge you ''Walk faster'' I turn the tide.
Without the shadow in your head,
Can you say you wouldn't be dead?
I'm all about the balance in you.
I'm not so bad and I'm always true.
I may not be welcome all the time.
But I am often needed for a sign.
I whisper to you of the shadow in others,
Be they friends, be they family or even lovers.
I am the shadow you seek to destroy
But was I the one who killed your joy?
I am the shadow you seek to blame
But was I really the creator of your game?
I am the shadow, fear me and fall
Or embrace me and know, I come because you call.
She was a shadow of herself,
The shadow within and without..
She was shadow and she too had a purpose.
Shadow.
