In The Shade Of The Shadows

Say the words, say them thrice

To your candlelit reflection

Your eyes swell with dark

There's a part of you that believes

When it rains in the house

And you scream but only static comes out

And your scalp freezes over

Just like a lake

When all the world is sleeping

I'm on the lam

Got to run and hide

No time to find out

Who I really am

In the shade of the shadows

In the shade of the shadows

In the shade of the shadows

Sowing seeds, spreading doubt

With the heinous things that

Fall from its mouths

In the dark, there's an art

To its deceit

Stolen stanzas that you'd never dare say

Stolen passages of time torn away

But the thief, he sleeps easy

But the thief, yes, he sleeps easy

But the thief, he sleeps easy

All through the day

In the shade of the shadows

In the shade of the shadows

In the shade of the shadows

Is where I hide

Got no time to find out

Who I really am

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

By my design
