I create, you destroy, you wake up the shadowboy
I come out in your night sleep
Like the silence in the street
I withdraw, if you come back
Hoody on and fade to black
You strike the bell and bring to heel
The offspring of a lousy deal
Forced into line in every sense
You cage the bird in ignorance
I create, you destroy, you made me the shadowboy
You took the ground, you cut my view
Brought up walls i can't break through
They swallow my identity
Your walls became a part of me
Your barking voice, your caustic smell
Made me a creature in a shell
I've locked myself up like a fist
What survives deserves to live
I create, you destroy, you complete the shadowboy
I found shelter at the darkened corners
Learned from survivors like rodents and crawlers
I became familiar with marten and fox
Allied in the shadows between all the blocks
They warned me to run before i die out
Follow the dead rails and don't turn around
Follow them till the dead-end
And dive into the woods on the left hand
You can trace but you can't destroy the footprint of a shadowboy
I create, i create, i create, i create, i create
You destroy, you made me the shadowboy
