about

Written at 3 A.M in a state of mild depression after waking up from a nightmare. Good times.

lyrics

I am my own shadow
My inner demon
Like a perpetual dolly shot
I zoom and retreat
Zoom out and come close
Too close for comfort
I see every detail
It’s tiring me out
But it is what I know
I just climb these walls
I slip and forget
I fall and see
The shark is there
Circling beneath
The dog is there
Waiting
And black
Like the crows
That always follow me
I see a shadow
On the walls that I climb
The walls of my mind
It’s me but it’s not
I am my own shadow
