lyrics

Where does my shadow run to get out of the shade
Does it think I'm overdone? A jester renegade?
Does it trace upon my heels, or does it try to conceal me?

When I stand out in the rain, the only sound I hear
Is a whisper hurricane, and my shadow disappears
It hides behind my eyes, and listens to my breath
The glasses hide my lies, and it feeds on my regrets

Staring at the sea, the Sun begins to rise
My shadow takes its leave, to find an alibi
The twisted webs I weave are not to be believed

Staring at the sea, I welcome the Moonrise
My shadow finds reprieve inside a new disguise
A path across the Moon, a journey to the stars
A winter storm in June, a riverbed on Mars

And fire can only eat you in your dreams

Where does my shadow hide to get out of the rain
Does it find a way to shun this jester renegade?
Does it lurk beneath the Sun, or does it try to reveal me?

I'm standing in the rain, and the only sound I hear
Is a whisper hurricane, and my shadow disappears
It hides behind my lies and smokes a cigarette
The glasses shade my eyes and fill me with regret

And fire can only eat you in your dreams
And your shadow will take it to the furthest extremes

Staring at the Moon, the sea begins to rise
My shadow takes its leave to find an alibi
The twisted webs I weave are not of my design

Standing in the sea, I welcome the Sunrise
My shadow finds relief inside a new disguise
A winter storm in June, a riverbed on Mars
A path across the Moon, a journey through the stars

And fire can only eat you in your dreams
And my shadow will take me to the furthest extreme
