Oh, don't mind him, he's made of darkness
But I take him everywhere I go
You'd think the light would make him harmless
And yet by light do shadows grow
♪
It's two of me in tension, didn't know I had depression
'Til he started writin' songs
And I told him not to draw attention
So he fouettés across the floor
Come watch me dancin' with my shadow
I'm tryin' to figure out the steps
Between the man you think you follow
And the man I really am
I'm out here singin' to the bright light all night
With all this darkness in my head
So come watch me dancin' with my shadow
Can't you see that I can't dance?
Well, surely a prophet on a poster
Must be the blatant worst of both
Oh, I didn't wanna be your pastor
Lest some holy rollin' stone
'Cause there's two of me in tension, just waltzin' with affection
Just learnin' as we go
And I'm tryin' not to draw attention
We've both been treadin' on some toes
So come watch me dancin' with my shadow
I'm tryin' to figure out the steps
Between the man you think you follow
And the man I really am
And I can't keep singin' to the bright lights all night
With all this darkness in my head
So come watch me dancin' with my shadow
Can't you see that I can't dance?
Can't you see that I can't dance?
Can't you see that I can't dance, dance?
I'm dancin' with my, I'm dancin' with my
I'm dancin' with my shadow (shadow)
I'm dancin' with my, I'm dancin' with my-, ah
I'm dancin' with my shadow (shadow)
I'm dancin' with my shadow
