"Don't look, don't look", the shadows breathe,
Whispering me away from you,
"Don't wake an eye to watch her sleep,
And know that you will always sleep."
This trembling drone,
Dazzled burn like gold
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I call your name,
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I fall again.
"Don't talk of love", the shadows burn,
Murmuring me away from you,
"Don't talk of worlds that never were:
An end is all that's ever true.
There's nothing you can ever say;
There's nothing you can ever do."
Still, everynight I burn,
Everynight I scream your name,
Everynight I burn,
Evernight the dream's the same.
Everynight I burn,
Waiting for my only friend,
Enerynight I burn,
Waiting for the world to end.
"Just paint your face", the shadows smile,
Slipping me away from you,
"It doesn't matter how you hide,
We'll find you if we're wanting to.
So slide back down and close your eyes,
Sleep awhile you must be tired."
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I call your name,
Everynight I burn,
Everynight I fall again.
Everynight I burn,
And scream the animal scream,
Everynight I burn,
And dream the crow-black dream,
Everynight I burn,
And scream the animal scream,
Everynight I burn,
And dream the crow-black dream,
