A Shadow On Me
by Project 86

Album: Songs to Burn Your Bridges By

These petals, this blackened rose
In a soil all 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 in me a trace of you
In all this tragedy
(You're the only home I know)

These pieces, the 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 has 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
This commitment to undo all that you forgave
And give all you promised to...

Can you see the shadow lifting?
Drifting home again
(You're the only home I know)
