lyrics

sometimes, late at night when i’m alone
the shadows make a house feel like a home
i cant 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 ur 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
theres 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 ur 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 ur friend and love u 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

Spooky as HELL AND LOVING IT And I love that they included different actors playing the poor doomed intern...It just comes to show how the very same script is unique in every performance and every single person on the role MarlaHectic
