Shadows
The city carved a silhouette
On the ocean after dark
Over the lonely and the holy
And the red blood beating hearts
Up from the dirty black water
A shadow void form
Raised itself out of the river
And it climbed upon the shore
Neon on black top
There gentle rain downtown
The shadow pooling underneath me
As it follows on the ground
I kissed you when I saw you
And I stared deep into your eyes
I meant to say: I love you
But instead I said goodbye
Shadows in the city
I’m a stranger to myself
On these streets I’m someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear us apart
For all my good intentions
There's a shadow in this dark
It comes to me infrequently
And breaks your perfect heart
I don't know why I do it
I apologize, but it's too late
A single tear you leave me here and
Shadow slips away
Shadows in the city
I’m a stranger to myself
On these streets I’m someone else
Shadows in the city
Like a demon in the dark
Come to tear us apart
