Sweet Shadows

Daughter Darling Sweet Shadows Lyrics
1.Broken bridge

All my rooms are filled with musty dust
Time has taken all that I possess
I never know if to laugh or to scream
To hate or to believe

How could you walk across that broken bridge
All their eyes followed as you so gracefully lived
And I tossed myself behind your feet
You cursed me

Falling through your sphere
All I know is you and here
Your tongue is fire when you speak
But you make me sing
Your love makes me sing

All my spaces are filled with you
With all the colors in the world yours had to be blue
And I'm breaking through your shameless ways
I can't refrain

Your hair is messy
Your frown is soft
You try to be harsh but you know you're so loved

I will toss myself down at your will
You know you kill

Falling through your sphere
All I know is you and here
Your tongue is fire when you speak
But you make me sing
Your love makes me sing

How could you walk across that broken bridge


2.Shattered

He drags his pretty razor
Across his tired skin
He does the world a favor
His pain leaks
His freedom begins

The can't feed from his torment anymore
Cause all his torment is feeding the floor
And he smiles as he says good-bye
He says good-bye

She sees the city all in one blink
Where is her exit from this loneliness?
He's in the crowd she knows her heart begins to sink
Will she hear his love confessed?
Hear his love confessed

Love isn't free within this hateful world
There's a price to pay with every slam of her door
And when it's over she's never satisfied
She says good-bye

I can't live knowing
What this world has to offer to me
Cause in the end it doesn't matter
In the end it's all shattered
Shattered

Good-bye


3.Let me speak

You said you'd go
You said you'd go
'Cause she's changing your life
Now you're changing your mind

Take one long at my face and then my eyes
Look deeper now
And you'll see all your lies inside

'Cause I can't take the abuse
Of a fairytail I never knew
My heart will hang you from your toes
Once your lover now your foe
I was your lover now I'm your foe

I'm gonna talk
Now let me talk
I'm gonna speak my mind
A sight so new
Your tears fall through
I'd be crying too if I was you
Let me make this short
I'm gonna make this sweet
While I walk out your door

'Cause I can't take the abuse
Of a fairytale I never knew
My heart will hang you from your toes
I was your lover now Im your foe
I'm gonna leave because you won't
This love to you has been a joke
I'm out of touch, my heart is broke
I've found with you theres no hope


4.Absconding

In the visions of the dark night
I have dreamed of joy departed
But a waking dream of life and light
Hath left me brokenhearted

There it goes away it goes
In the night it slips away
There I leave all that I loathe
Escape before the day breaks

That holy dream, that holy dream
While the world were all chiding
Cheered me as a lovely beam
A lonely spirit guiding
Spirit guiding


5.Mermaid

I live where you can't see me
Hiding away in the shadows of the deep
I swim into the bottom of your world
For every space I cross I see a thousand pearls

I breathe what I know you fear
All the sounds I love, you will never hear
I know what it is that turns beneath your feet
Floating on the surface of my enchanted sea

Close your eyes and take my hand
Hold your breath as long as you can
We'll leave behind the storms above
And swim into the seas of our love

Your skin is pale and not the shade of mine
Your eyes are darker than the blackest midnight tide
I can't resist from taking you with me
Becoming what it is that all young children dream

You have to leave as soon as you awake
You're eyes will open then this dreamy spell will break
Know when you leave that I'll be waiting here
Waiting for your sleep so I can re-appear


6.Sad & Lonely

Did they tell you I was boring
Do you know where to order the next morning
There is no guarantee, no guarantee
That when you wake up
You'll be able to breath

So I'll throw you moonbeams
I'll make you
Kick and scream
Oh then baby I'll
I'll make you smile
Then I'll make you bleed

Sad and lonely
Sad and lonely

Don't you look so sad
You know it cant be that bad
Just consider it to be
Just another way you'll see me

Did you forget your place of ambition
I've seemed to move you from your only position
Your position
You're so afraid of my reality
'Cause it burned your eyes
Makes you sad and lonely
Sad and lonely
Sad and lonely

So I'll throw you moonbeams
I'll make you kick and scream
Oh then baby I'll make you smile
And then you'll bleed

Sad and lonely
Sad and lonely
Sad and lonely
Sad and lonely


7.Things untold

I have this little problem with you
This little problem with you
This little problem with you
You act like you own the whole world
As if you never knew you never knew
Do me a favor and look in the mirror
Do you see beauty or do you see tears
You hate so much you never planned
For things to really land, for things to really stand

Without any foundation
Without a life time vacation
Of enjoying your little life
Did you strive or did you float on by...
With daddy holdin' your hand

Now crashing is all your future holds
With things that matter, things untold
You operate just like a barbie doll
You're so perfect till your head is pulled off
By a child that makes you a fool
In her kiddy pool, in her kiddy pool
She leaves you floating there all alone
Used by her dog as a bone by her dog as a bone
You e used by her dog as a bone
Do you really enjoy your life
Do you strive or just float on by
With daddy holdin your hand


8.Voodoo Games

You slice her open
But its me that bleeds
I feel her pain
And you feel greed

You comb her hair
Then pull it out
You tell her you can't live without
The love that I won't give away
You punish me the evil way

Your voodoo games
I cannot take
Insanity, control and hate
I want you to
Just let me be
I'm at your mercy
Release me

Your voodoo games are haunting me
I wake up from my piercing screams
Let me go let me be
I'm at your mercy release me

You're not a man
You're just a boy
Who likes to mangle up his toys
You bring me to your broken dreams
Your wishes to reality
Your freedom is from stabbing me
I won't endure these heartless deeds
You only choose to taunt and play
With what you won't face anyway

Your voodoo games
I cannot take
Insanity, control and hate
I want you to
Just let me be
I'm at your mercy release me
Your voodoo games are haunting me
I wake up from my piercing screams
Let me go
Just let me be
I'm at your mercy release me


9.You won't see me

All the worlds that I turn towards
Won't look me in the eye
Somethings hiding from the truth that ever was
And slipping into a lie

I won't be the one to stay
I'll run into a brand new day
And I'll leave before the sky is grey
And you won't see me no you won't see me again

Keep hiding your shameful face
Blushed in the guilt of what you did
Know I will put you in your place
This lie I refuse to live

And I'll become so brave
I'll walk into a brand new day
And I'll leave before your sky is grey
No you won't see me oh you won't see me again
No suffering no you wont see me again


10.Sweet shadows

April how dare you
Bring me a life new
And now I sit and stare
Soul bare, soul bare, soul bare

He said to go left
The cold air stole my breath
And now I walk alone
They don't care soul bare, my soul bare

This city's gonna swallow me
It's hungry, angry, gonna swallow me
Now the shadows they follow me hollow me
The sweet shadows they follow me

We all walk so scared
A smiling face so rare
They're all frozen alone
They don't stand soul bare, thier souls bare

The city runs wild
Around my secret life
In the dark I will glow, glows my soul, my soul it glows

This city's gonna follow me
One day you'll see it'll follow me
Now the shadows, they're hovering covering
The sweet shadows are hovering


11.Dust in mind

I close my eyes
Only for a moment
And the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes a curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind

Same old song
Just a drop of water
In an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground
Though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind

Now, don't hang on
Nothing last forever,
But the earth and sky,
It slips away
And all your money
Won`t another minute buy

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Everything is dust in the wind
