A Shadow On Me
These petals
This blackened rose
In a soil of my own
Shrouding your hallowed ground
Like seeds who'll never sow
Like forgery and larceny
And my ill-gained revelry
I recite these scripted lines
While embers of a different time
Go drifting by
When every word you ever said came true
All I missed in all of this was you
Can you see
A shadow on me
Calling me to leave
Find
(You're the only home I know)
In me
(You're the only home I know)
A trace of you
In all this tragedy
These pieces
These shattered shards
Dancing in the moonlight
Glimmering and glistening
Preparing me for the night
I never learned to walk the surface on my own
So lately this ocean floor's
Been feeling more like home
So take me in these fleeting moments of solitude in you
Remove this sordid fascination with shadow, and remove
This shattered self of preservation, permit me to undo
All that you forgave, and give and all you promised to
And all you promised to...
Can you see the shadow lifting,
Drifting home again?
This blackened rose
In a soil of my own
Shrouding your hallowed ground
Like seeds who'll never sow
Like forgery and larceny
And my ill-gained revelry
I recite these scripted lines
While embers of a different time
Go drifting by
When every word you ever said came true
All I missed in all of this was you
Can you see
A shadow on me
Calling me to leave
Find
(You're the only home I know)
In me
(You're the only home I know)
A trace of you
In all this tragedy
These pieces
These shattered shards
Dancing in the moonlight
Glimmering and glistening
Preparing me for the night
I never learned to walk the surface on my own
So lately this ocean floor's
Been feeling more like home
So take me in these fleeting moments of solitude in you
Remove this sordid fascination with shadow, and remove
This shattered self of preservation, permit me to undo
All that you forgave, and give and all you promised to
And all you promised to...
Can you see the shadow lifting,
Drifting home again?
