Hidden is the shadow man

crouched beneath the stairs

watching your feet

as you go to eat

the supper that's been carefully prepared

hidden is the shadow man

lurking behind the door

watching your finger

as you linger

with the book you've read so much

hidden is the shadow man

lying under the bed

watching you breath

as you leave

this world for a dream one instead

hidden is the shadow man

following you home everyday

watching you walk

as you slow down to talk

on that phone that you love so much

hidden is the shadow man

he is the fears you must have

the places you won't go

the life he must live instead

he is your shadow who follows you home

and never leaves your side

hidden is the shadow man

let him loose, let him loose

let the shadow man be free

face the fears

let loose the tears

and let the shadow man be free
