Shadows to distort our faces, mirrors they have all mislead
Shallow graves for slow decay, we are temporary
Our bodies fade
Explosions of an eastern sky, rid of empty promises
Skin resolves to melt away and blend within
To lose ourselves we blend within, finalize
Distant like postcard words on the back of a faded scene
Screaming at the wind, by a river in the rain
Contours in the rug where the witch has been swept
Done in by her broom and the company that she kept
Distant like postcard words on the back of a faded scene
Screaming at the wind, by a river in the rain
Contours in the rug where the witch has been swept
Done in by her broom and the company that she kept
When we’re whole, when we’re whole
We would give anything just to be everything
