Me and My Shadow

me and my shadow
laugh and have good times
we think of cleaver ideas
and risky dink rhymes

me and my shadow 
there is no way to separate
unless there is a victor 
and one becomes a classic trait

me and my shadow 
paint each others image
believing we're the best artist 
neither portrait gets finished

me and my shadow 
share each others fear
one day will cross the wrong person
and they'll have us in tears

me and my shadow 
think nothing ahead
liable to get hurt
certain we are dead

me and my shadow 
are underneath the bridge 
hiding like a troll 
waiting for a chance to get rich

me and my shadow 
know the rules of the game
but we sulk to much 
so we don't go out to play

me and my shadow 
know what we did
get the full story 
then repeat your opinion 

me and my shadow
don't understand the clues
I'm left alone as usual 
trying to get away from the blues

me and my shadow
know what we do 
ignorance is no excuse 
I take responsibility of my attitude
