Project 86 - A Shadow On Me lyrics

rate me

These Petals

This blackened rose

This soil all my own

Shrouding your hollowed 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 in me

(you're the only home, 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

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 you

Find in me

(you're the only home, you're the only home I know)

A trace of you in all this tragedy

So take me in these fleeting moments of solitude in you

Remove this sordid fascination with shadow and remove

This shattered self for preservation

This commitment to undo

All that you forgave and give

And all you promised too

And all you promised too

Can you see

A shadow on me, calling me to you

Find in me

A trace of you in all this tragedy

Can you see

The shadow lifting; drifting home again
