The soil is wrapped around my ankles way too deep I woke up freezing from a violently long sleep The color of my skin has turned to something white I watch the living world drift slowly out of sight There is a silence where my heart used to resound I walk too lightly on this frozen, hallowed ground I tried to speak your name, but only moth dust came I am a candle wick without the burning flame. They lock their doors to keep the night outside But I have nowhere left to run, nowhere to hide The gravity is pulling on my heavy bones... I’m running where the shadows breathe I don’t belong to heaven or the hell beneath I’m hunting for a pulse I know I’ll never find I leave the golden city of the warm behind I’m running where the shadows breathe... Running where the shadows breathe The mirror shows a stranger standing in my place I trace the marble lines upon my cold, dead face I see the lovers walking hand in hand so tight I am the static in the middle of the night. My veins are filled with river water, not with blood I am the lotus blooming from the ugly mud Don't touch my skin, the frost will burn your fingertips I have the taste of graveyard dirt upon my lips! I’m running where the shadows breathe I don’t belong to heaven or the hell beneath I’m hunting for a pulse I know I’ll never find I leave the golden city of the warm behin I’m running where the shadows breathe... I just belong... Nowhere at all.
