Back into the Shadows
A sad song of pain and love and realizations.
::VERSE 1::
We have known each other for a long long time
and even I know when we have crossed a final line
loving me was never easy, this I know
about as easy as it will be to let this go
hard to believe this is where we ended up
but do not see it as giving up
regret not we just drifted apart and grew up
where to begin?
to unravel a life thats knotted up::CHORUS::
I know how to sink back into the shadows
we were born there or don’t you remember?
we dared life and death to go ahead
and take us on
and here we thought we’d won
said we’d never part
thats when life grew claws and tore across our hearts
yes I know how to sink back into the shadows
that last light you see are my eyes aglow
for I’m taking the only light as a theft
because I’m saving whatever fire I’ve got left::VERSE 2::
we ran life ragged, ran it straight into the ground
to think we used to like that we were certainly hell bound
my dear, I’m just not strong enough anymore
I surrender, I wish I’d have said something long before
love isn’t a race and it isn’t a game
love should become a steady glowing flame
not a destructive raging blaze
burning down sanity and minds entire
as a city on a mountainside set nefariously afire::BACK TO CHORUS::::BRIDGE::
were we ready then?
so are we ready now?
they all said we’d never know how
to be good for one another
and our pride slit that at its throat
we took it as a challenge smiling at the other
I was the poison to your antidote
oh and wouldn’t you know
we were young and wouldn’t you know?
I think I know now, what they’d always meant
we never did know how to take a hint
we just never knew how to slow down nor relent::ENDING::(bridge 2)
I bear you no ill
i bear you no ill, my dear
but I wish you a mind that could be clear
I bear you no ire
no anger as well
but you know as well as I, we became a shell
of something we know as well as the void itself
we were born there if you remember
so we are sure too recognize such a quiet hell
I wish to sleep in limbo with you no longer.
And im sorry.

Whew ...that's sad...but just a song...you cant compare poetry to real life ...real life inspires poetry...if that makes sense...there's more than one side to everything...and it ain't as sad as Alll that...but sad times make good art...
