Standing in My Shadow

Devil you’ve been standing in my shadow for some time now
Why don’t you come into the light? I want to see you
You and me, we’ve never been what most of us would all call friends
But I’d be lying if I didn’t say I was happy to see you
I’ve got friends and you’ve got friends that are one in the same
I’ve got friends that see my face and they don’t know my name
Standing in my shadow like the skeleton you are
But through your lack of skin and flesh we see your lack of heart
These days I’ve been talking to myself because I’m the only one who hears
Devil you’ve been lying and I’ve been listening
Been playing on my guitar and you’ve been playing on my fears
Sometimes I don’t know if I’m dying or living
I’ve got friends and you’ve got friends that are one in the same
I’ve got friends that see my face and they don’t know my name
Standing in my shadow like the skeleton you are
But through your lack of skin and flesh we see your lack of heart
Don’t deny me of my weakness because without it I’m not me
Don’t let it go take control I still need some room to breathe
I guess these days I’m just searching for that safe space in between
The space between the bad part and the better part of me
I’ve got friends and you’ve got friends that are one in the same
I’ve got friends that see my face and they don’t know my name
Standing in my shadow like the skeleton you are
But through your lack of skin and flesh we see your lack of heart
Standing in my shadow like the skeleton you are
But through your lack of skin and flesh we see your lack of heart
