lyrics

Pink wax drippin down the stone. Candle between iron bars.
White light in grey rock room. Too bright, too much, too soon.
I’m all too familiar with this pain but unacquainted with these chains.
Cuffs on each wrist, shackles on ankles, locks on all limbs,
neck in a manacle.
Someone is coming. Echoes of footsteps. And a creak of the door.
Hello and hi is all way say. Me in my chains, you in the doorway.

“I’m sorry I had to.” And you smile at me.
I know and thank you. And you throw me the key.
With the poison wearing off, my head feeling better, I can feel it all start to change.

Why am I here? What is your name?
I step in the light. You do the same.
Where is your shadow?
“It’s never been seen.”

You say with a smile, there in the sunbeam.
