A Shadow On Me

[Verse 1]
These petals
This blackened rose
In a soil all my own
Shrouding your hallowed 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

[Pre-Chorus]
When every word you ever said came true
All I missed in all of this was you

[Chorus]
Can you see
A shadow on me?
Calling me to leave
Find in me
(You're the only home I know)
(You're the only home I know)
A trace of you
In all this tragedy

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
When every word you ever said came true
All I missed in all of this was you

[Chorus]
Can you see
A shadow on me?
Calling me to leave
Find in me
(You're the only home I know)
(You're the only home I know)
A trace of you
In all this tragedy

[Bridge]
So take me in these fleeting moments of solitude in you
Remove this sordid fascination with shadow, and remove
This shattered self of preservation, this commitment to undo
All that you forgave and give and all you promised to

[Chorus]
Can you see
A shadow on me?
Calling me to leave
Find in me
(You're the only home I know)
(You're the only home I know)
A trace of you
In all this tragedy

[Outro]
Can you see the shadow lifting?
Drifting home again?
