lyrics

I often think….
how can darkness and light sit with ease
side by side in a person?
But I have also learned that shadow is what gives us depth.
We all cast shadows… so even if you try to hide it
one will still detect that frantic movement!
But in my time I have seen countless devils unravel themselves into piles of nothing
Burning, ruining, tearing down every bridge to themselves
and WHY? My shadows are quite fond of me…. I keep them company and serve them tea!
But I know a crook who thinks probable cause to a lesser crime can be a distraction…
means to an end. But it never REALLY ends with you when you always bend and break the rules!
Others defend him standing in his filthy waters until he gets them from behind
they scream BURN THE WITCH, and throw facts all aside!
But every dead body drowned eventually rises, bloated and swollen… you CAN avert your eyes but you will never truly forget what you have seen! And...
surprise! Your lies are disrobing themselves! Falling dead into the light
I set my weapons down and just opened my mouth.
And I sit with my shadows now knowing it’s just a matter of time.
Time.
I am holding the hands of time. And don’t you see?
Every clock is on my side.
