Just a Shadow Songtext
von A.A. Williams

When the night comes I crave your kiss
Both sweet and bitter the taste
Of broken hearts and cigarettes
That I never liked but I can′t forget
You speak with poisoned tongue this
Vicious commentary bruising
Every fucking inch of me
And I am powerless to leave

But when the emptiness comes I
Need you, I need you
And in the darkness I'll
Forgive you, forgive you but


Oh, you are the lie I always
Told to myself, and irrepressible ache
But I′d walk right into a
Gathering storm just to get away

Embedded so deep down
I don't think I'll ever cut you out
An armour formed around my bones
Around my heart, around my soul
Offering protection by
Forming impenetrable lies
This armor crushes dreams
This armor crushes me

But when the emptiness comes I
Need you, I need you
And in the darkness I′ll
Forgive you, forgive you but

Oh, you are the lie I always
Told to myself, and irrepressible ache
But I′d walk right into a gathering storm just to get away
