I can't pretend that my shadow is still my own
A shapeshifter sent to bring me home.
But self-love is seldom found
When she's built the scale for comparable worth
Hardly seen and never heard
Even when I struggle to prove
Hardly seen and never heard
Even when I struggle to prove I'm here
For a moment
For a moment
I'll see a light
But a scythe will always sever the lines of sight
Choke on the dust from her bones
She's always there
She's always listening
I sold my soul to be alone
But if I misstep once I'll fall away
I close my eyes to all the signs
Wrap me tight and shoot me into the sky
When my eyes close, I see myself sleep.
When death ascends, she takes to my tendons
And I dance for hours until I tire myself out
And when she's through
She'll pull me under
Always from below
Choke on the dust from her bones
She's always watching from below
I sold my soul to be alone
But if I misstep once I'll fall away
I close my eyes to all the signs
Wrap me tight and shoot me into the sky
I sold my soul to be alone
But if I misstep once I'll fall away (I'll fall away)
I close my eyes to all the signs
Wrap me tight and shoot me into the sky
Always watching from below
Always
