Your Shadow's My Friend Lyrics

Each time was the last chance I swore I'd give you

Too many things, if I say them out loud, they don't come true

Forgiving you, betraying myself, embracing you

Your tears are my fuel, seed to hate, no other use

We're twins of one likeness fighting for one life in one womb

I'll take with me a piece of you when I dig for your tomb

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?

I see right through your disguise:

It's foul yet almost natural

Your evil melts the flesh you put on like fire to snow

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?

When you shine in the spotlight,

A patch of dark always follows

And haunts you forever, and in forever, I made oath

Oh oh

Your shadow, my friend, don't you know?

Oh oh

Your shadow's my friend, don't you know?

Moths around fire are eager for death

It's how I'd illustrate us when I stick a knife up your head

You're my closing act, and in return, I shall find rest

The best time to sever was always yesterday

Except the end of love is indifference, that's what they say

And that's how I know I'll surely love you till Judgment Day

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?

I see right through your disguise:

It's foul yet almost natural

Your evil melts the flesh you put on like fire to snow

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?

When you shine in the spotlight,

A patch of dark always follows

And haunts you forever, and in forever, I made oath

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?

It creeps up to you at night

Holds down your throat until you choke

Your ego dissipates and fear awakes and off you go

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?

End of tunnel will have no light for you, don't ever stand still

Hell's been awaiting the rightful return of your soul

Oh oh

Your shadow, my friend, don't you know?

Oh oh

Your shadow's my friend, don't you know?
