The Death of a Shadow

Does Elvis play guitar?
No, I think he plays the harp
But it's been hard to tell, you know?
He fell to Earth and into the back of a hearse
And the driver just knew where to go
I saw a pile of flesh and feathers singing grandmother's 'Jailhouse Rock'
I summoned up the courage to go there together
But the goddamned door was locked

The death of a shadow is light
With every breath I'm saying goodbye
With every breath I'm saying it
With every breath I'm saying goodbye

Your dog died and you thought he went to Heaven
I used to think someday I would go
There's a church of kindness buried in your ribcage
But now you've gone and called it a hoax
You let death put a ring on your finger
You made such a passive bride
But I woke up and the sun was still rising
I swear I saw you coming to life

The death of a shadow is light
With every breath I'm saying goodbye
With every breath I'm saying it
With every breath I'm saying goodbye

Well, I guess I should admit I paint a bad self portrait:
'A Lover Left Out In The Cold'
I've been a babe asleep in the arms of forever
One missed call from death row
Push down the wall and there is a window
Peace has been calling your name
You just couldn't hear it over all of this talking,
But I thought love was why you came

The death of a shadow is light
With every breath I'm saying goodbye
With every breath I'm saying it
With every breath I'm saying goodbye
