Story Behind the Song
I got the idea through my friends and family, thanking me for doing so much for them. It's a blessing that I can look out for them as well as myself.
Lyrics
I walk the day long, and non-existant,
When the sun beats down, I'm short distance,
I know what you're thinkin', and I know what you're sayin',
Backstabbin' me when I'm near, and I'm listenin',
Try to step into the shade, and I don't go away,
And at night, I follow you to the bed you lay,
I look into your eyes, and I see your soul,
I have the upper hand, you better fold,
I'm the guardian angel from below,
I can save you while wearing the darkest halo,
Never again will you see anyone like my kind,
I'm the only one that can change your mind,
And if you don't believe it, just listen to me,
This is what I do for a living,
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men,
It's me, the shadow knows, so let's begin.
(Chorus)
It's the evil in you, that draws me to you,
'Cause I already know what you've been through,
You must understand that I'm not here to hurt you,
I'm the shadow, and I already know,
I'm here to heal the wounds that still bleed,
As I step into your soul, I see,
Ease all your pain, and get you through anything,
'Cause I'm the shadow, and you're a human being.
You probably don't think I'll persuade you,
I can make you say the words I make you,
It won't break you, 'cause I control your mind,
And you won't realize me in time,
I can make you feel extreme heat in sub-zero,
Make you believe that I'm your hero,
With you're mind narrow, you breathe me out loud,
Look at everyone's face, and I'm out in the crowd,
I've changed their lives, too, now me to you,
Attached at your feet, when heaven's upon you,
Too many people just try to percieve,
It's mad to anger, then it turns to greed,
Live your own life, and everyone's should be jealous,
Greed takes over, then everyone's envious,
And this is how your life's supposed to go,
Just follow me, the shadow, 'cause I already know.
(Chorus)
Don't take my life for granted,
You always talk to me when you're left stranded,
You can handle it, I know you can,
Just stick with me, and you'll be a better person,
Recognize me while your head hangs low,
And you'll never want me to go,
And save your soul, live you to the fullest,
Yeah, I'll be around, but I won't even be noticed,
Say what you think, just speak your own mind,
Then they will know you in due time,
Hearts rewind, and you will never skip a beat,
Find one person of your own to be complete,
'Cause evil in life is like a disease,
And if you believe in me, it will all be a breeze,
'Cause I've always been here, and I'll never let you go,
'Cause I'm the shadow, and I already know.
(Chorus 2x then fade)
