Silhouettes
I've wasted years believing in trusting
And holding on to something so abstract
Been left in the middle filling blanks
Answering riddles downed glasses of faith
And a few drops of hope with pills to kill
The state as attempts to twist fate
Sung praises to failed
You've tied me well to the ropes
Oh you fill me up for the desperate
You abstain to feel for the mourning
Chasing this mesmerizing but slowly drifting
And fading silhouette
Chasing this blinding, binding but slowly drifting
And fading silhoutte
Run
You stayed only to elude evade
Come back for a while
Then again run away tireless
From the "I shall seek and you shall hide"
But after the pushing away
You'd pull me back inside
Am I a fool for not being dismayed
Running in circles day after day
Cathedrals she'd light for the next mile
You were just too numb to find the time
Oh you fill me up for the desperate
You abstain to feel for the mourning
Chasing this mesmerizing but slowly drifting
And fading silhouette
Chasing this blinding, binding but slowly drifting
And fading silhouette
Look beneath look
Feeling has been your abstinence
Been hanging long enough
Yearning for your touch for just one moment
An answer even in a whisper or a bit of presence
Even in silence yet you fill me up with absence
Oh you fill me up for the desperate
You abstain to feel for the mourning
Chasing this mesmerizing but slowly drifting
And fading silhouette
Chasing this blinding, binding but slowly drifting
And fading silhoutte
Run
