You Took My Soul

Stranded in this spooky town 
 Floor is crackling cold 
 Under my feet cause

You took my soul 
I placed one single rose 
In your hands made of glass 
 
All I wanted was for you to
Hold it gently 
And be careful as to not drop it 

 But you was clumsy 
 You released the whispers
 Of my breath 
 Now I'm drivin by the fever

 In my chest 
 Showing no mercy 
 Open up your eyes 

 You bleed me dry 
 Skies are winking at me 
 I see a storm bubbling 

from the deep blue sea 
YOU shimmy-shook my world 
LEAVING me stranded all in love

 On my own 
 For its a race under the moon 
 Feels so good but I'm old 
 TEN thousand years of chasing

Taking its toll
Do you see me now
 I'm smarter then I let people believe"

 Hidden behind the fragments of what All" I let you see " 

 Standing on a distance bay 
 Beneath cloudy skies 
 I promise to stay out your way.
