Oh, don't mind him, he's made of darkness But I take him everywhere I go You'd think the light would make him harmless And yet by light do shadows grow It's two of me in tension, didn't know I had depression Till he started writin' songs And I told him not to draw attention So he fouettés across the floor Come watch me dancin' with my shadow I'm tryin' to figure out the steps Between the man you think you follow And the man I really am I'm out here singin' to the bright light all night With all this darkness in my head So come watch me dancin' with my shadow Can't you see that I can't dance? Well, surely a prophet on a poster Must be the blatant worst of both Oh, I didn't wanna be your pastor Lest some holy rollin' stone 'Cause there's two of me in tension, just waltzin' with affection Just learnin' as we go And I'm tryin' not to draw attention We've both been treadin' on some toes So come watch me dancin' with my shadow I'm tryin' to figure out the steps Between the man you think you follow And the man I really am And I can't keep singin' to the bright lights all night With all this darkness in my head So come watch me dancin' with my shadow Can't you see that I can't dance? Can't you see that I can't dance? Can't you see that I can't dance, dance? I'm dancin' with my, I'm dancin' with my I'm dancin' with my shadow (shadow) I'm dancin' with my, I'm dancin' with my I'm dancin' with my shadow (shadow) I'm dancin' with my shadow
