Shadows

And you'll shine silently thought the night,
Secretly through the night.

I'll get lost in the shadow of your sight,
The shadow of your sight.

Blue eyes like the water deep,
Give me the nightmares;
No need for sleep.

Running through the night,
Breathing fast,
Seeing all in black and white.

I hear a gasp,
I turn around.

I'll take off the mask,
Reveal the scars,
Berried in the stars;
Behind the faces,
Of the failed races.

I lay down, you lay with me.

I touch the ground, you're underneath me.

Up into skies, you shine.
Sun comes up;
You're no longer mine.

You're one of them now;
Invisible to the sun,
Glad to the moon,
Forever lost in the shadow of the 'soon'

And yes, you were, my inner light.
But now, my love,
You'll shine silently through the night,

Secretly through the night.

This one is about a person whose lover had died. They can only visit him during the night when the spirits are free.💜
