Shape Of My Shadow
Lyrics From Live Performance
[Verse 1]
There's somebody in my body
He's awake when I'm asleep
And he's making me feel ugly
And he's making me feel weak
I met him when I was younger
And he's lived with me since then
And we argue with each other
In the end, he always wins
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm so terrified
That I'm forgetting which side I'm on
He tells nothing but lies
So, why do I believe every one?
[Chorus]
So, when you tell me, love
"You're gonna wear yourself thin"
Oh, don't I wish
"You must be healthy 'cause you don't look sick"
So, please stop asking why my clothes don't fit
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
"You're gonna wear yourself thin"
Oh, don't I wish
"You must be healthy 'cause you don't look sick"
Oh, please stop asking why my clothes don't fit
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
[Post-Chorus]
But it's every fucking mirror
Department store windows
Puddles of water
The shape of my shadow
It's every fucking mirror
Department store windows, Lord
Every puddle of water
The shape of my shadow
[Verse 2]
There's a thousand different voices
Telling me I shouldn't care
But he blocks out all them noises
He's the only one that's there
And he's so goddamn convincing
Yes, he pulls on every string
I don't know who I am without him
He's taken everything from me
[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm so terrified
That I'm forgetting which side I'm on
He tells nothing but lies
So, why do I believe every one?
[Chorus]
So, when you tell me, love
"You're gonna wear yourself thin"
Oh, don't I wish
"You must be healthy 'cause you don't look sick"
Oh, please stop asking why my clothes don't fit
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
"You're gonna wear yourself thin"
Oh, don't I wish
"You must be healthy 'cause you don't look sick"
Oh, please stop asking why my clothes don't fit
'Cause I don't know, I don't know
[Post-Chorus]
But it's every fucking mirror
Department store windows
Puddles of water
The shape of my shadow
It's every fucking mirror
Department store windows, oh, God
Every puddle of water
The shape of my shadow
[Bridge]
I ain't hungry
I ain't hungry
I ain't hungry, Lord
I ain't hungry, no
I ain't hungry
I ain't hungry
I ain't hungry, but I eat, eat, eat
[Post-Chorus]
But it's every fucking mirror
Department store windows
Puddles of water
The shape of my shadow
It's every fucking mirror
Department store windows
Every puddle of water
The shape of my shadow
