Lyrics The Shadow Thief - Nickodemus

Have you seen a girl, she looks just like me?
Curly hairs run wild, like curvy dancing trees
Made of hope and desire, held together with fire
Blazing through every barrier
The brush gives way to her feet

I asked the river as it rushed to the sea
Have you seen a girl, looks just like me
See, she stole my shadow
Right from under me
Left me one dimensional
Floating aimlessly

Have you seen a girl, she looks just like me
Curly hairs run wild, like curvy dancing trees
Made of hope and desire, held together with fire
Blazing through every barrier
The brush gives way to her feet

She tricked me with her magic words
Promised castles in the sky
Built a house of flowery words
Floating aimless in that sky
She sold me tin, that passed for gold
Fed me rust, to my demise
She sold me water from the sea
While I'm thirsty on this boat
My grandma always warned me
Beware the shadow thief
These roots they run far
Yes, they run deep
Quite gifts I leave
In your shadows keep
Never leave your shadow
Beware the shadow thief

Have you seen a girl, she looks just like me
Curly hairs run wild, like curvy dancing trees
Made of hope and desire, held together with fire
Blazing through every barrier
The brush gives way to her feet

I asked the river as it rushed to the sea
Have you seen a girl, looks just like me
See, she stole my shadow
Right from under me
Left me one dimensional
Floating aimlessly

Have you seen a girl
Curly hairs run wild
Made of hope and desire
