Something In The Shadows

[Verse] I was here before the door Before the music Before the goblin remembered What he was waiting for [Chorus] You call me shadow That's adorable I call it home [Verse] I live beneath the warehouse Where the old foundations crack Where the roots forget the daylight And the dark forgets the black I stretch beneath the dancers I curl around their feet I wake up when the bass comes down And fall asleep between the beats [Chorus] You think you've found the doorway You thought you chose to stay But, darling, I've been dancing with you Since before you knew my name I don't need a body I don't need a name Give me something moving And I'll teach it how to sway [Verse] The lights go out I growl The bass goes down I breathe Someone starts to lose themselves I slip beneath their feet I'm the something in the shadows Dancing with the beat Under every wicked little body Moving underneath You think you're moving through me Darling, that's so sweet I'm the something in the shadows Come closer, feel me under [Chorus] Underneath [Verse] I watched the fairy drinking silver glitter on her skin Stealing kisses from the darkness just to see what she could win I watched the cop and waiting, pretending not to care Counting every stranger that came stumbling through the stair Then she walked in, human almost, I felt her shadow tremble Before she even knew my name She carried years of daylight like a coat she couldn't shed But underneath I knew [Bridge] Goblin saw a stranger The fairy saw a game I saw something underneath her Trying to remember its own shape She stepped onto the dance I stepped onto her [Chorus] I'm the something in the shadows Dancing with the beat Under every wicked little body Moving underneath You think you're moving through me Darling, that's so sweet I'm the something in the shadows Come closer, feel me under [Outro] Feeling Disappear I pulled it back The moon came through I let it in The floor grew wider I stretched it thin The walls began to breathe That was me The goblin laughed The fairies flew The witches raised their glasses And nobody asked who moved the room I liked them better that way Dancing Not thinking The human looked down Her shadow looked back She froze I didn't I waved Her shadow waved back I don't want your worship I don't want your fear I want your little heartbeat when the bass gets near I want the witch's laughter The goblin's crooked grin The fairy's stealing sins Washing it down with gin I want the bodies moving until nobody knows Where the music ends and the creature goes I don't hunt I don't chase I simply wait Beneath the place Three little knocks One old song One lost friend One night gone long Three little knocks The door swings wide Something ancient steps inside I'm the something in the shadows Dancing with the beat I've been underneath you since you walked in off the street You thought you'd found the doorway You thought you chose to stay, but, darling I've been dancing with you since before you knew my name I'm the something in the shadows The shape beneath the light The thing that makes the floor move when the moon is shining bright You can call me what you want to Monster, ghost, mistake But every time the bass comes back, you move the way I make All stage All stage Who's underneath me? Who made the form?
