Gabriel

(album: Red Earth & Pouring Rain - 2016)

It's a part of me, Gabriel
I wish I could deny
The face that I can barely recognize
He lives inside of me
Every day of my life
And I can hear him, screaming in the night

It's just a shadow
Cast from all the light
Wherever I go, he's never far behind
And in the darkness
I lose him every time
In the dark, the two of us combine

Is this all I am?
And all I ever was?
All that he has won [?]
Is all that I have lost
Won't you hear me out, Gabriel?
Can't you see the shape I'm in?
Just don't leave me alone
Just don't leave me alone

It's a part of me, Gabriel
A stranger in the night
And all I have done
Will I ever reconcile?
It's not just a shadow, but a life I left behind
The person, I am yet most despise

Is this all I am?
And all I ever was?
All that he has won [?]
Is all that I have lost
Won't you hear me out, Gabriel?
Can't you see the shape I'm in?
Just don't leave me alone
Just don't leave me alone

Is this all I am?
And all I ever was?
All that he has won [?]
Is all that I have lost
Won't you hear me out, Gabriel?
Can't you see the shape I'm in?
Just don't leave me alone
Just don't leave me alone
