everything you say to me is a ploy
and everything that's coming out
is what you always knew
anything you try to hide or avoid
is all that i want you to see
your shadow eating you
i'm the one you're stepping on every day
so listen up i'm growing out
from what you always knew
speaking out from underneath your feet
just look at me i'm coming up
your shadow eating you

i think you'll find that my view of your world
is a place that you know i can't reach
and try as i might to fit in to your view
you still end up bringing out me

in my eyes
your weapon speaks
my receiver has taken your round
you've become part of me

the brighter light that's coming out
is what you'll see in you
anything you try to hide or avoid
is what you'll find that's feeding me
and splitting us in two
when you lie and try to hide me away
everything starts breaking down
and i'm taking over you
anything you say to me that's a ploy
is everything that's coming out
it's really nothing new

i think you'll find that my view of your world
is a place that you know i can't reach
and try as i might to fit in to your view
you still end up bringing out me

in my eyes
your weapon speaks
my receiver has taken your round
you've become part of me
