Shadows

(Album: Act I: "Captives" - 2006)

After all, the sun bleeds its last light of the day, it fades away
You realize the skies still can't
Keep you from the thing you hate the most
The ghost you chase just won't let you sleep tonight

I care
I won't tell a soul then
And turn this velvet sky

When it's all said and done
And you're holding a gun
When they find you on the floor
Taking your last breath
When the laughter is gone
And the curtain has shown a weary end
The shadows' your only friend

Until the moon spills its spell light on the scene, the mystery
Of you and me the scars we traded
Secrets that we maybe should've waited to tell
Should been left when you fell

When it's all said and done
And you're holding a gun
When they find you on the floor
Taking your last breath
When the laughter is gone
And the curtain has shown a weary end
The shadows' your only friend

Blame me on all I ever said
A liar's kiss never had a chance at free
Rest in peace

When it's all said and done
And you're holding a gun
When they find you on the floor
Taking your last breath

When it's all said and done
And you're holding a gun until this ends
Until this ends

Now laughter is gone
And the curtain has shown a weary end
The shadow's... your only friend
