Shadow man lyrics

Sometimes, late at night when I’m alone
The shadows make a house feel like a home
I can't really say I’m isolated in my room
When silhouettes are moving in the corners of my view
Oh, figure in peripheral sight
That only ever visits me at night

Can I call you my friend
If I’ve never heard a word you’ve said
I’ve never quite seen your face
But I feel your eyes at the back of my head

Stay a millisecond longer
Shadow man
You’re the only one that sees me
My only friend
I blink and then you’re gone from the corner of my eye
But your temporary presence makes me feel alive

Always there to listen when I vent
Finding therapists in all my shadow men
There's a bright side to my constant sleep deprivation
The friendship that comes out of dark, empty spaces
Figure in peripheral sight
That's always there to make me feel alright
Can I call you my friend
If I've never heard a word you’ve said
I’ve never quite seen your face
But I feel your eyes at the back of my head

Stay a millisecond longer
Shadow man
You’re the only one that sees me
My only friend
I blink and then you’re gone from the corner of my eye
But your temporary presence makes me feel alive

You don't have a face or a name
But I'll be your friend and love you the same
The shadow man will always be there
When I feel like nobody else cares

Stay a millisecond longer
Shadow man
You’re the only one that sees me
My only friend
I blink and then you’re gone from the corner of my eye
But your temporary presence makes me feel alive
