Tracie - Your Shadow's My Friend Lyrics

Each time was the last chance I swore I'd give you
Too many things, if I say them out loud, they don't come true
Forgiving you, betraying myself, embracing you

Your tears are my fuel, seed to hate, no other use
We're twins of one likeness fighting for one life in one womb
I'll take with me a piece of you when I dig for your tomb

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?
I see right through your disguise:
It's foul yet almost natural
Your evil melts the flesh you put on like fire to snow
Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?
When you shine in the spotlight,
A patch of dark always follows
And haunts you forever, and in forever, I made oath

Oh oh
Your shadow, my friend, don't you know?
Oh oh
Your shadow's my friend, don't you know?

Moths around fire are eager for death
It's how I'd illustrate us when I stick a knife up your head
You're my closing act, and in return, I shall find rest

The best time to sever was always yesterday
Except the end of love is indifference, that's what they say
And that's how I know I'll surely love you till Judgment Day

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?
I see right through your disguise:
It's foul yet almost natural
Your evil melts the flesh you put on like fire to snow
Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?
When you shine in the spotlight,
A patch of dark always follows
And haunts you forever, and in forever, I made oath

Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?
It creeps up to you at night
Holds down your throat until you choke
Your ego dissipates and fear awakes and off you go
Your shadow's my best friend, don't you know?
End of tunnel will have no light for you, don't ever stand still
Hell's been awaiting the rightful return of your soul

Oh oh
Your shadow, my friend, don't you know?
Oh oh
Your shadow's my friend, don't you know?
