Shimmer Songtext
von Afterthought

I′ve been living life to feel the sunrise
But all I see are monochrome dull empty skies
Well I always said I'd rather hate the truth than love the lie
But these empty silhouettes that leave me asking why
You′re all I see when I look in the mirror
I guess I've grown into you more than I'd like to admit
Tracing lines between the dots from last December
All these patterns flood my mind and I can′t stand the shape of it

Daydreams, ripped jeans, all in on red
At least that′s the plan

I know sometimes I push it all aside
But the look in her eyes is forever alive
Inside my mind, they shimmer in that starlight tonight
Shimmer in that starlight tonight


And through it all I'm ever living for the day
When you′d come home, we'd be alone and you′d make it go away
And I'd say all of the things that bother me
You′d be right there and you'd see
That through the ups and downs you'd be better off with me
Do you take time out of your busy life
To cross my mind, sharpen your knife
Cutting through these walls of grey
Watching my hope fall, fade away
Is it cliche to say I′ve grown to love this pain
So day by day I′ll hope for change
But for now, I guess I'm stuck in my ways

I know sometimes I push it all aside
But the look in her eyes is forever alive
Inside my mind, they shimmer in that starlight tonight
Shimmer in that starlight tonight

You′re everywhere inside my head
And I don't understand
You′re everywhere inside my head
That's something I can′t stand

I know sometimes I push it all aside
But the look in her eyes is forever alive
Inside my mind, they shimmer in that starlight tonight
Shimmer in that starlight tonight
I know sometimes I push it all aside
But the look in her eyes is forever alive
Inside my mind, they shimmer in that starlight tonight
Shimmer in that starlight tonight
