Shadow Magic

What's below my complexion Buried in the dirt My mirror reflection Someone I unearthed My new best friend We play under the night sky Dipping our toes in the deep end Staying out after bedtime My shadow magic My shadow magic My shadow magic My, my shadow Natural inclination Nocturnal urges Simple divination Leave me to my curses Feel the fear flow cold in my bloodstream Open my eyes to things unseen Freed by fleeting fantasy Till you can't recognize me Nobody's perfect so why hide behind Self deluded illusions The games in your mind That you play to convince yourself you're the good guy Liberate yourself from constructs of black and white Maybe just maybe, you'll be surprised By the stillness and peace you possess deep inside When acceptance is granted to the intertwined I don't know the person in the mirror Not sure if I love or fear her Is she the collection of my own repression Locked away imperfections A lifetime of transgressions My shadow magic My shadow My shadow magic My shadow
