Hope Killed the Shadows (The Dead Whisper On)
by Pivitplex

Album: The King in a Rookery

Verse 1
I feel my heart is beating- just like my head is a drum/ (and) the song is done
And yesterday is talking- just like death had a tongue/ and I'm feeling numb
My thoughts crawl out to play- an army on parade- they rule the day

Chorus
Hope killed the shadows. Oh, what a day; when I turned the other way.

Verse 2
Break down the trepidation- my hand can block out the sun- until the day is done
And now I'm starting over- just like the crack from a gun- a new life begun
My lungs fill up with air- the tallest veil will tear- new day beware

Chorus
Hope killed the shadows. Oh, what a day; when I turned the other way.

Bridge: here, there, or in the air? The world is darker when my eyes are closed and I don't understand what I don't understand. I try to grip what I can't hold alone and I don't understand what I don't understand.

Chorus
Hope killed the shadows. Oh, what a day; when I turned the other way.
