From Sleep and Shadows Lyrics

Fragile thing a memory is

Bend and shape

The shards that break

Steal yourself within the confines

Lifted oh so briefly

Tired in truth

And sound in madness

Will you come to me in dreams unasked

And spoil me with what has passed

Below my gaze

And split my thoughts into

A thousand pleas for my forgiveness

A thousand cheers and praises for you

And looking back on what I couldnt see before

Did I need to do away with you?

(I will strain to hear you)

And I will strain to hear you

Forever blessed

Forever moving on

and we'll all grow up someday

But for now

Cant we just pretend

Crosses made in vain

A Brush with what we cant amend

And I

I am still your best defender

And I will always stand this ground

As if your breath stands still

And whispers to me

What remains of you and I

Tell of no wrong in your life

There is no flaw in my sight

Keep and eye to the shadow across your back

When the life you left is your hand intact

Compare me to what you will

Compare me to what you will

Compare me to what you will
