Shapeshifter

(album: Greyview - 2020)

[Marcus Vik:]
Shapeshifter, an everchanging hue
Chromatic variance I can see right through
Sharpen your senses, blend with the backdrop
That obscures you, concealed by fear
Hiding in plain sight
I can't replace you, I never meant to
I regret to say you were one of a kind
Understand we share a bond that was left behind

Shapeshifter, no color looks like you, world turning grey
All you want is something new
Shapeshifter, your color's burning out
I watched you fade away into decay

[Garrett Russell:]
We stared at the sun
Gazed into the haze until the colors faded into a shade of delusion
Drifting away, you traded doubt for fate, a sorry soul at stake
You've become another shapeshifter
I knew you by distance
You showed me there's no love like loss
Count the seconds, recall the memories
Spindles descending from the calloused hands of time
You showed me there's no love like loss

[Marcus Vik:]
I regret to say you were one of a kind
Understand we share a bond that was left behind
Brothers who loved one another
We had a lot to lose, it shouldn't have been you

Shapeshifter, no color looks like you, world turning grey
All you want is something new
Shapeshifter, your color's burning out
I watched you fade away like you never wanted dark
