My creature in black
Is teaching me the daily art of disguise
My dark silhoutte
Is my silent master of compromise

It's a curse
It's getting worse

Destined to act
In an infinite real life roleplay
And I have lost count
Of all the characters I do portray

Yes, here we go
Welcome to the show

I'm dancing with my shadow
She leads me and sways me and I follow
Round and round we go
Getting lost in the shallow
I'm dancing with my shadow

My shadow
My shadow

She's always there
To take my hand
She is my pain
She is my friend
A dark waltz
Wailing in my mind
Devours my flesh
From the inside

Hear my silent cries
Hiding behind my shame
Know were my secret lies
I'll whisper my true name
I'm a bird without wings
Just a puppet on a string

Yes here we go
Welcome to the freak show

I'm dancing with my shadow
She leads me and sways me and I follow
Round and round we go
Getting lost in the shallow
I'm dancing with my shadow

My shadow
My shadow
