A sliver, a shadow, Peeking round the corner I try to shy, to run and hide, But it's always behind my shoulder Grabs a hold, won't let go Can anyone relate? I'll never know Look in the mirror to try and see The demon standing next to me It walks like me, talks like me, Laughs like me, acts like me Follows me, tortures me, Asphyxiating, I CAN'T BREATHE Wanna run, I know I can't hide From the demon I released and harboured inside.. *And it affects me so... Can't, let, go.....* So I'll live with it, Accept it This is my life now As much as I want it to go, It's my silhouette, my shadow... I'd like it to go As far away as possible But as much as I want it gone... Like a part of me, it belongs... I'm paranoid, always look around Turn fast at even the slightest sound Can't help it, just how I am Hopefully you understand I know I'm being watched, by what lies behind The past and the present like cars collide In shattered glass, flying past, Slow-motion, infinitely lasts Slam the brakes but it's too late Accelerate guarantees the fate Things will happen and will be seen By the shadow that lurks behind the scenes *And it sees me so, And can't seem to let me go...* So I'll live with it, Accept it This is my life now As much as I want it to go, It's my silhouette, my shadow... I'd like it to go As far away as possible But as much as I want it gone... Like a part of me, it belongs... Let go, let go... A part of me that I want gone But like my soul I guess it belongs Go, goooooo.... I guess I'll just get used to it Despite the fact it lacks common sense

Silhouette, Shadow
A sliver, a shadow, Peeking round the corner I try to shy, to run and hide, But it's always behind my shoulder Grabs a hold, won't let go Can anyone relate? I'll never know Look in the mirror to try and see The demon standing next to me It walks like me, talks like me, Laughs like me, acts like me Follows me, tortures me, Asphyxiating, I CAN'T BREATHE Wanna run, I know I can't hide From the demon I released and harboured inside.. *And it affects me so...
