The Man Next to Me Lyrics

one day he was there
maybe he always was, even before
i didn't feed my host
until he showed me what i adore
he never speaks
just like he's dumb
not a single word, nor even 'want'
but the silence is louder than any scream

but who is the man next to me
who shows me the holes in the trees
who gives the clouds the shapes of pets
who wants me to regret
i can feel his breath
while i'm walking down the streets
i can hear the steps
as if he was the one who leads

like a guide, like a light
not sure if i can trust these hands
so why should i try?
even though he's there every day and night
talk yo me, follow me, show me
what you want me to see
and how you want me to be
just talk to me, talk yo me, follow me, show me
if this is what you see, what you want me to be
