Shadow Side

I slipped through the side gate Into Paradise, the sun shone And my Shadow Side slipped on a golden cobblestone 'What are we doing here My Shadow asked I've spent our life planning Our home in Hell' 'Why won't you cooperate You know you hate me Did you get religion It won't work, you hate priests 'Because you kissed the Golden Ass Goddess Doesn't make you a saint It makes you a sex pervert!' 'Shadow, get behind me I said, or stay buried in my psyche with my corpse! Foul Thing, begone thee!' 'O that's cute,' said Shadow Wrack me with cheap names You dead slab of graveyard meat But you can't make me sane. 'Maybe that Sacred Lollypop Told you Now Is All, and This Is IT, and Have A Ball, But I'm calling it to a halt 'I have issues you see And it's you, not me, And though I hid in the dark cell of your soul I wanted to flee, be free' I took a razor and cut Shadow free Sailing off like a balloon on the wind Reaching for altitude in the pearl gray sea Where he expanded and popped, emptily Paradise is quiet now that I'm alone My Shadow Side bag of Sins is gone But I miss him on the golden cobblestones I turn around fast to catch him Just behind me, there! where? Just back there, where I can't see I turn and turn but he's not there Just a razor scar left inside me
