The Shadows Smile

"Don't look don't look" the shadows breathe.
Fading you away from me.
Still wake at night to watch her sleep.
I know that I will always lose
This trembling,
Adored,
Tousled, tortured girl...
But every night I burn,
But every night I call your name.
Every time you’re not there,
Every night I fall again.

"Don't talk of love" the shadows purr.
Whispering you away from me.
"Don't talk of worlds that used to be,
Their end is all you’ll ever see.
There's nothing you can ever say,
Nothing you can ever do... "
Still every night I burn.
Every night I’m alone with me.
Every night I yearn.
Every night I try to forget your guarantee.
Every night I sear.
Waiting for my only friend.
Every night I fear.
Just waiting for the world to end.

"Just paint your face" the shadows smile.
Slipping you away from me.
"It doesn't matter how you hide,
Find you if we're wanting to.
So slide back down and close your eyes.
Sleep a while,
You must be tired... "
But every night I burn.
Every night I call your name.
Every night I yearn.
Every night I fall the same.
Every night I sear.
Night’s just as dark as it seems.
Every night I fear.
I promise I'll see you again.
But if I wake, I’ll still be inside my dream...
