Shadowtides
-------------------------------------------

Shadowtides Since you've been gone, I'm nothing but a shadow of myself, I cry to the sky, And deny its reply, Lie to my heart, A silhouette of an empty shell Watch the fire light, Dancing with memories of you and me, I cry with the sky, Flames douse its reply, Burning my heart, Your cold words haunting shadows of me His promises brought to light the tears that I cry, They took you away and I pray to God that he lied, I hope the tides weren't that high, And the moon hung itself and died, You'll run back from the sea, Haunted by shadows of me How many tides, Have carried empty seashells in the dark, Hold them to your ear, Listen to my tears, Lie to your heart, Tell yourself those echoes don't make this hard How many nights, Has he made you a shadow of yourself, You cry to the sky, And fight back those tides, I hear those cries, Through silhouettes of an empty shell Too many tides, Have carried our trust too far out to sea, We cry with the sky, Because the moon died, Fire light lost the fight, Your begging words haunting shadows of me.
