The Shadowman is the the dark side in all of us. The voice in our minds telling us to withdraw into our own shell, to give up on on friendship and love, to spend our time and effort on self-serving rubbish instead of the things that really matter.

lyrics

The shadowman is coming to take you away
The shadowman is coming to take you away
Take you away from your family, cut you off from your friends
The shadowman tells you that he’s all you need

The shadowman wants the best part of your day
The shadowman wants the best part of your heart
You’ll think you have him under control
He’ll never rest till has all of you

He lives in you, he feeds on you, he’ll fill you from the inside
Your joy will turn to bitterness, he’ll leave you an empty shell

He’ll tell you to search for the narcissist inside
He’ll tell you to feed the ego parasite
He’ll say your own happiness is all that matters
He’ll tell you you’ve never needed anyone else

He’ll lock you in your own head throw away the key
He’ll convince you you’re better off in abject misery
There’s nothing he won’t do to turn you into his slave
And he won’t be happy till you’re in your grave
