He's standing on a corner
I'm a shadow on the ground
Zombie with glazed eyes
His mouth turned down in a frown
I have no face to show the world
No way to make a sound
I have no method to speak a single word
Unless through his teeth and lips
So I have no mouth to scream
All I do is think and dream
Is my Ken without limit then?
With no place in the world around
People may think they know him
Though I'm no kin of his nor he of mine
They don't know the half of who he is
Wished I could have told them
Wished I could expound
But they are talking to me
He doesn't even hear them
He doesn't even care
Or see them or love them
I'm the one they know,
I'm the one they've found
He's a specter bearing my likeness
But he's the one that has a name
He's the one with the face
He's the shadow that knows no shame
He is nothing
I'm not always here
So I wish I could know who I am
Wish I could understand what I am
But they don't see me
Can't know who I am
He's standing in my footsteps
He gets all the attention
One day maybe they'll see me too
Wish they could understand
That what they see is not who I am
For now and that's all anyone can see
He's the living person
I'm just a shadow on the ground
