[Verse] Shadow on the skin they wait and bow Whispers rise but they don’t know how Fingers trace the lines of time Every crack a quiet cry Do they see me do they care Or just a ghost that's hanging there [Chorus] Shadow on the skin shadow on the skin Where the dark begins the dark begins They wait they bow they breathe somehow Shadow on the skin shadow on the skin The gentle hearts they feel their own ways Lingering their dreams and memories As twice as high [Verse 2] Midnight hum it calls me near Feet don’t move but I feel the fear Eyes like lanterns burn so wide Lost between the pull and pride [Bridge] They bow they bow they bow again To shadows carved by borrowed sin Is this the start or is it the end The line is blurred it will not Focus on the lights Something feels so slow Into thin nights Pure hearts of diamonds and gold Invisible energies burns so painful [Verse] I searched the skies for a golden clue Dug through the dirt just to find what's true The mirror stared The mirror spoke A quiet fire A little smoke [Prechorus] The world won't hand you a spark A flame But deep inside It's not the same [Chorus] Hope and joy They rise They burn A light inside It's yours to learn No need to beg No need to fight It’s always there Your inner light Looking for cures to my own pain But every road just led me back To something whole [Verse 1] Shadow on the skin Cold ring on my finger Your name on my tongue But it just won’t linger Curtains breathing slow Dust caught in the sway Your hand on the door Half here Half away [Chorus] Shadow on the skin Where the light begins Where the dark begins to fade away Shadow on the skin Every touch you leave Is a mark that never knows my name Shadow on the skin Shadow on the skin [Verse 2] Coffee gone to chalk Words stuck in the cup Your chair still turned Like you’ll look up Laugh lines in the glass Cracked frame on the floor Your face in the past Still pressed to my door [Chorus] Shadow on the skin Where the light begins Where the dark begins to fade away Shadow on the skin Every touch you leave Is a mark that never knows my name Shadow on the skin Shadow on the skin
