Not Your Shadow by Erys Lyrics

Staring at the shadow of the person I’m trying to be
She seems translucent and easy to reach
I think I stared at the shadow too long
Silhouette that is filled with my bones

And I’m trying to be
Something to feed
The people hungry for unique

You’re my distraction
From who I am
Feel this attraction
And miss where to land
You’re my distraction
You got something new
That I’ve never seen before
But it’s something to adore

I just want to let you know you’re not the only fucking person who invented this shit
And I know I sound spiteful, but this song shouldn’t be trifled with it wasn’t written to be a hit
And I had to get it off my chest either now or later
And it’s better now when no one knows my name
Coz yours is plastered all over the place
You’re my distraction
From who I am
Feel this attraction
And miss where to land
You’re my distraction
You got something new
That I’ve never seen before
But it’s something to adore

It’s that bloody spider
Icy fire
Wire in my teeth
I’m in dark attire
Carbon fibre
Bite you underneath

It’s that bloody spider
Icy fire
Wire in my teeth
I’m in dark attire
Carbon fibre
Bite you underneath

You’re playing tug of war with my nerves
I think I’m going loco
Your eyes are tattooed next to mine
I heard they’re blue like the Oronoco
You’re playing tug of war with my nerves
I think I’m going loco
Your eyes are tattooed next to mine
I heard they’re blue like the Oronoco

You’re my distraction
From who I am
Feel this attraction
And miss where to land
You’re my distraction
You got something new
That I’ve never seen before
But it’s something to adore

You’re my distraction
From who I am
Feel this attraction
And miss where to land
You’re my distraction
You got something new
That I’ve never seen before
But it’s something to adore
