Shadows are nothing

but hollow salesmen

trying their best to swindle you

into buying bottles of synthetic sunshine

and books on how to make a silver lining

but for every ill they claim to cure

you'll get another itch to scratch

there's always a catch

when you're fishing with bait

when it comes to selling

the shadow-men are full of greed

and it's always buy one get one free
