The Shadow

Mirror bleeds when I get near
Static crawling in my ear
Cold fingers tapping on my spine
Laugh echoing out of mine
She glitches every step I take
She's realer every time I break

She has my teeth
She has my stare
She walks like truth I never wear
And she gets loud
(Gets loud)
(Gets loud)
Yeah, she gets loud
(Gets loud)
(Gets loud)

I met the shadow
(The shadow)
I met the shadow
(The shadow)
I'm terrified of what I see
'Cause every monster looks like me
I'm the host and she's the guest
Putting all repression to the test
I met the shadow
(The shadow)
(The shadow)
(The shadow)

Floor shakes underneath my feet
Her rhythm trying to compete
(Don't move)
She whispers names I threw away
She digs them up like DNA
She breathes right through my every lie
She wears my fear like battle-dye

She has my teeth
She has my stare
She walks like truth I never wear
And she gets loud
(Gets loud)
(Gets loud)
Yeah, she gets loud
(Gets loud)
(Gets loud)

I met the shadow
(The shadow)
I met the shadow
(The shadow)
I'm terrified of what I see
'Cause every monster looks like me
I'm the host and she's the guest
Putting all repression to the test
I met the shadow
(The shadow)
(The shadow)
(The shadow)

Run–go on
Run–she follows
Turn–she turns faster
(Face her)
(Hold her)
Let her crawl into your mouth
Let her drag your heartbeat out

She never leaves you

I met the shadow
(She's right here)
She's the monster in the glass
I met the shadow
(She's right here)
And she breaks me from inside
I'm terrified of what I see
'Cause now she folds herself in me
Not a host, not just a guest
She's the weight inside my chest
I met the shadow
(The shadow)
And she
Won't
Go
Down

Quiet isn't peace
You know that
