06 -The Shadow

[Verse 1 – quiet, flat] I walk past Glass and light I don’t look Like I did Every face Moves through me Like I’m air Like I’m thin [Pre-Chorus – restrained] I say “hi” No one turns I feel small I don’t burn [Chorus – small, honest] I’m the shadow In the room I’m the shadow Next to you I don’t move I don’t show I’m the shadow That you know [Verse 2 – lower] Lights stay on I stay dark Every place Leaves a mark I stand still They go by Every sound Asks me why [Pre-Chorus – same, heavier] I don’t fight What I am I just fade Where I stand [Chorus – same, firmer] I’m the shadow In the room I’m the shadow Next to you I don’t move I don’t show I’m the shadow That you know [Bridge – near-whisper] If I step Into the light Would I stay Or lose my shape? I don’t try I don’t go I feel safe Being low [Final Chorus – resigned] I’m the shadow I don’t fall I’m the shadow On the wall I don’t break I don’t grow I’m the shadow That you know [Outro – cut short] Lights go out I’m still here Just a shape In the dark
