scrumptious, you definitely are not hearing things in my opinion. I both hear exactly that on various qualities of listening devices and think the song fully supports that line. "Have faith in myself" No way that the "light" should divide us. God separated the light from the darkness. Truth. My inner "darkness" is shining. Trying to get the love out of religion with out all the hate.
This is going on a limb but the shadow and other references in the first stanza seems to point to a religious background that is no longer believed in. Doing "battle" for god. Made to be stupid. Having to accept the pain.
I imagine the line was too direct and he changed it when he published the "official" lyrics.
