1 - Shadowland

Waking up slowly
And breathing in deeply
Hoping you might be
Somewhere else

Sipping your coffee
And hoping so softly
That you just might be
By yourself

Clocks tick on slowly, each
Second more lonely
Leaving you more lowly
Than before

You’re stuck in stasis
And this is the basis, it’s
Why you can’t face it
Any more

Cos these shadows
Tell you where you’ve been
But you’re so lost
In this labyrinth
This shadowland that we’re in

Your heart breaks daily
And your strength’s failing
You’d give anything
For one more time

But closing’s more easy
Than giving out freebies
And you say: never jump,
Never fall

And these shadows
Tell you where you’ve been.
But you’re so lost
In this labyrinth
This shadowland that we’re in

Cos you are tired of always
Casting shadows and
Stumbling in the light

Cos love has always
Taken the best of you
You don’t want to lose any more

These shadows
Tell you where you’ve been

But all you want to know
Is where to go now

In this labyrinth
This shadowland that we’re in
