Shadows of Betrayal

Explosions, torque, the unspeakable Magnetic force of your weathering Pulling in through our sweetened bell Grieved as yet undelivered Is it foolish, piling dreams upon dreams And lying among skulls past their due While refashioning the latest grab Unprincipled and colloquial Simply juiced by the lack of you I still think of you, coming close So close that we lift Out beyond graves and gravel I know I'm losing you The toothless ascendance of choice And you're distracted From comprehening our story in piece Does delusion spill so grandiose I'm flying mermaids from coast to coast Get back in this game Full born and bright Following the future Out of love's dastardly grip But I cannot shake the mist Your shadow has me eclipsed
