Shadow

Yes, you can take that to heart

It was meant to sit close to the bone anyway

You can make it a big issue

Make it a battle of your own and that's ok

You can feign a distant familiarity

You say you understand the similarity

You think you see me with great clarity

But you're acting me, not necessarily (not sure about that one)

Only if you steal my shadow, will you truly know

Yes, you can call that a start

It was meant to begin kind of slow anyway

Yes, your deceit is an art (could also be "your deceit isn't odd")

I knew you would sink kind of low anyway

You say you have the best intentions

You fill me with fickle suggestions

Logic is fired by inventions

But your concern is much more than you mention

Only if you steal my shadow, will you truly know

You say you're in my situation

You say you've been confused by my complication

You think my soul makes negotiation

But you don't see my hesitation

Only if you steal my shadow, will you truly know
