Door, yeah who opened the door

It made the pain and the memories scatter like papers all over the floor

Sure, I've got some things in my heart that I'd rather ignore

Pages from my biography telling the tale of a personal war

And it still be like that yeah

Got a battle raging inside me and it makes me fight back

Feeling so anxious waiting, he said he'll be right back

Just wait…I ain't had my last dance with regret

Nope, but I wish I did

Holding onto hope, but it's slipping

In the dark tryna grope, where the light switch is?

Who knew it would be like this, try to fight him off but he's close like skin

That's my shadow

Yeah that's my shadow

Oof boy he's runs deep but he makes me shallow

Walking in the Son, but he always follows

Why you come in uninvited tryna take my peace

Put blood on my hands and stain my sheets

Rob my joy, even steal my sleep

Turn this temple to den of thieves

Want me to fall dead like autumn leaves?

Audibly, Talking to myself I'm arguing

But when I try to pray it's hard to speak

This is embarrassing

Might need a little more therapy

Looking in the mirror and I'm scared to see

My dark side chilling right there with me

I'm seeing two sides of the same guy

But the dark side tries to blend in with light

Spent a long time trying to bend him to the right

I'm a smart guy but I can't figure this out

He's got a mind of his own, he thinks that I am his home (whoa)

Even when I'm all alone, I'm really never alone (whoa)

The moment I feel that I've grown, he makes a move for the throne (whoa)

I got the evilest clone, and he'll never leave me alone

That's my shadow

Yeah that's my shadow

Oof boy he's runs deep but he makes me shallow

Walking in the Son, but he always follows

Following me like a stalker

I shine bright and he gets darker

Behind me at the alter

Tempting my heart with debauchery

same old offer

I say no this could get awkward

I say yes I won't move forward

Stuck inside my mind is torture, I

Really had enough of the back and forth

Dragging around this ragged corpse

Body of death inside my chest if it goes unchecked

I'm back off course

Help me with this battle Lord the battles yours I'm growing weak

I don't wanna turn into a causality if my shadow over shadows me

Take a drink

Go ahead clear your head take a break

Take a drink

Go ahead to the edge take a leap

Where faith at? Where love at?

Where faithfulness to the Lord at?

Where fun at? Where drugs at?

You know that grace he got more of that

I ain't doing that, I'm threw with that

I ain't even got a valid excuse for that

The truth is that, you still got control

This time you ain't even gonna lose yourself

Phew yeah, I am exhausted with lies

I'm feeling physically tired yeah

My allegiance to God is rivaled with self

Craving these empty desires

My shadow is staring me down

Wrestling me for the crown

Yeah but heaven is holding me down

Keeping my feet on ground

I need that blessed assurance

I need to know that I'm never deserted

Yeah I need the love of the surgeon to work in my mind, body, and soul, it's more than conversion

I need to know that you're working

I gotta trust you to carry my burden, I gotta trust you to heal what is hurting

Cause I'm pretty certain I opened the..

Door

Yeah I opened the door

Walking into the light and I see my shadow right there on the floor

Lord, I'm hoping to tonight we settle the score

Or, just give me the grace to live with the thorn
