He's followed me my whole life
He watching me sleep at night.
He says he's my guardian angel
But he's so dark and his wings have rough angles.
He only comes at night
And he shows right up when I'm in a fright.
My dreams told me he's bad
But then again he looks so very sad.
I offered to be his friend
And though he has no face I swear i saw him grin.
Now he scares me and won't go away.
I should have listened to the Lord.
This demon is feeding on my breath
Becoming strong.
Once he changed my shadow
And I ran all the way home.
Scared he would come inside
If no one was there.
I locked the doors and ran.
My breath was heavy and my body was tired.
When I awoke I was no longer home
I was in his house.
As I look around I see him in my body
Carrying it around.
He took my soul
And I took his place.
Now I'm powerless
But am getting brave.I'll have a new me soon
Till then look out your window
You'll see the shadow man.
