From the recording When The World Leaves You Behind
Lyrics
We Prefer The Shadows
We walk among you, watching, waiting
We talk along with you, listening, laughing
And when we touch you, you feel cold
This is how much you could ever know
We keep on feeding, we never, grow old
We prefer the shadows
Moving through the darkness, calling, falling
Smells of earth and sweet decay, foot steps, echoes
We sleep with marble, granite and wood
We touch your window as we should
There is no going back, if we could
We prefer the shadows
Black birds calling your name
Twisted winds winding through the game
Night falls hard across the plane
Heart beats pulsing like the rain
Leaves and soil and fingers and hearts
Herbs and skin and bottles and parts
Tattered these words on a paper so thin
Nobody knows where death begins
