Shadow on 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
(You're the only home, you're the only home I know)
A trace of you in all this tragedy

Can you see the shadow lifting, drifting home again
