Lyrics
Shape Shifter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
My king, I'm humbled before you, I bow
Moods like you're pulled by the moonlight, somehow
How is the language we're speaking the same?
Shape shifter have you discovered a change?
Why does the soul hallucinate?
I've got control, I shift my shape
Your eyes, they swell like a riot, deranged
Tomorrow you're laughing like a child again
Why does the soul hallucinate?
I've got control, I shift my shape
If flesh and bone do not contain
The mirrors don't reflect my face
Psycho, you killer, you cancer, my friend
Why don't you give me an answer for when
When you'll let it go
When you'll let it go
When you'll let it go
When you'll let it go
