[Verse 1]
Just a shadow, a ghost of nightmares past
You're burning out and fading fast
Dry lips tug oxygen and perfume from before
Keep your head low, and hide from soldiers near
Twisting the words we always feared
Don't question the notes left on the table by the door

When I look into your eyes, I know the sun will never swallow me whole
Please dive into my soul

[Chorus]
See me under the pine tree in the forest of our everlasting love
Where the grass is overgrown, and the stars control the space above
Our actions and the things we say, when we've burned out and there's nothing we can do
I know it's over, cause all my prophecies are true

[Verse 2]
Just a shadow, of things you never meant
Throw empty words in hot cement
Look past my eyes and shoot your bullets in my head
Watch the window for signs of morning light
So you can run and escape the fight
Pour your incense into my ribcage, chasing my breath as you poison my airways

[Bridge]
Reanimating these broken bones just to make them look alive
To keep up appearances, to swear to God that everything's alright
I know my end is very real, but that's not something that you should feel
You can either pack your bags or weather the storm

[Chorus]
See me under the pine tree in the forest of our everlasting love
Where the grass is overgrown, and the stars control the space above
Our actions and the things we say, when we've burned out and there's nothing we can do
I know it's over, cause all my prophecies are coming true
I wish that I could blame you

(Take note of things unsaid, and
Drag me back to your bed, I
Dig deep to find your heart, but
It's a shadow from the start, I)

[End]
Just a shadow, a ghost of nightmares past
I'm burning out and fading fast
Dry lungs tug oxygen and perfume from before
Keep your voice low, and graze my fingertips
The moments before lips grace lips
But don't question the notes left on the table by the door
