Shadow Common to Us All
Abismo Cavado e Medicado
Every mirror lies once
Before showing who I am
There's a face I hide from myself
That only appears when the lights go out
Everyone carries a dark twin
Pretending that part isn't mine, that it's nothing
Two halves sharing the same body
The one I show and the one I lock away
The more I deny it, the more it grows
The more I run, the more it knows where I belong
Everyone has a second face
Pretending there's only one
A shadow common to us all
The part no one shows in the mirror
I gave it room to grow
Pretending it lived far from my reflection
It's not a monster, it's just what I deny
Of the worst I carry inside
The more I hide it, the heavier it gets
The more I pretend, the deeper it settles
One day that shadow knocks on the door
And demands rent for a whole lifetime of being ignored
A shadow common to us all
The part that no one shows in the mirror
I gave it room to grow
Pretending it lived far from my reflection
It's not a monster, it's just what I deny
Of the worst I carry inside
There's no use running from what's mine
Every shadow needs a place to grow
Either I face what I try to hide
Or I carry this weight until I can no longer live
A shadow common to us all
The part no one shows in the mirror
I gave it room to grow
Pretending it lived far from my reflection
It's not a monster, it's just what I deny
Of the worst I carry inside
Every mirror lies once
Before showing who you are
