Berg and I

Lyrics

[Verse 1] So I woke up one morning with a shadow sleeping in my bed His voice wassoftand solemn butthe teeth were rotting out hishead He said to me, "Let's make a deal I'll get yououtofthis here mess Butfollow you, Iwill, until you're dead" [Verse 2] And as the days went by, my shadow matched my each and every step And whispered words of wickedness that rattled 'round my weary head Till I gave up and let him do the talking while I rested And forgot the countless wicked things he said [Chorus] So is he my shadow, or am I his? Am I who I am, or what I did? [Verse 3] And soon I got so light my wicked shadow tripped me constantly And shadows pooled upon my skin each time I fell upon my knees Spotted, dotted, tattered with a shadow hanging over me I hung my head and wished for sweet relief [Verse 4] Now he's the one things happen to, I look upon it helplessly He's taken on my mannerisms, acts my life out like a scene Haunted, hounded as my shadow taunts me with his tactics I stare stupid, and in utter disbelief [Chorus] So is he my shadow, or am I his? Am I who I am, or what I did? [Bridge] And then one day I turned around and found my shadow missing It was worse than that first moment when I woke up lying next to him "Have I been dreaming this whole time?" I asked to no one listening And a shudder rippled through my chest like lightning [Chorus] There is no shadow, there's never been There is no shadow, there never is I am what I am and what I did
