To Be The Shadow

To live in the dark, and abhor the light
I swallow the answer to win this fight

The darkness eats away all my evil truth
Hidden behind the light I disguise my abuse

I become a question hidden in a room of answers
The darkness in me spreads forth like cancer

Oh! To be the shadow and you the man
Taking your place is my only plan

To be the slave instead of the master
I give you the reigns to my disaster

You may see me dance across the earth
In anonymity I have found my rebirth

You may gather in the light and watch us mimic from the ground
But to each you will ask who’s shadow have you found

You can not determine which is me
I am hidden where I want to be
