Very Long Shadow

from Making Monsters by My Fair Fiend

/

lyrics

Someday, My dear
We’ll talk of fear like an old friend
Embracing the cold sweat
Impending doom of this brilliant youth
The dew on the flowers will dry
As hard as we try to stay the same

Life is just a very long shadow
My body between the sun and the ground
But the eyes in the trees
And the burning breeze
And the finch and the sparrow will see
The ground between the sun and me

Someday, My dear
We’ll talk of pain like the master
Embracing the clenching jaw, the sharp knife
Breaking bone, the shrieking cry
We’ll welcome the silence that comes
No more commotion in our lungs

Night is just a very long shadow
The east lies between the sun and the west
And the stars they gleam
And the bullfrogs sing
And the finch and the sparrow, they sleep
While the moon pulls the weight of the tides of the sea
And life is just a very long shadow
My body between the sun and the ground

Life is just a very long shadow
My body between my god and me

…whoever that might be
