SHADOWGARDEN LYRICS

1. Shadowplay

Can you see the shadows on the wall?
The tragedy of watching us fall
I can feel it all coming down...

Can you see the shadows on the wall?
The tragedy of watching us fall
I feel it coming down

Feel free to save yourself
Before it all goes up in flames
The fire casts its shadow

In the ashes that we crawl
Lies the witness to our fall
Now we rest in failure's arms

Let us end this wicked game
Cause nothing will remain the same
We were nothing but a shadow play

Tried to swim against the tide
Nothing grows were I used to hide
The addicition is strong within us

There is no saving grace
Out of time out of place The world around us starts to burn

2. Last Summer

I don't dare to speak
Isolaton complete
But you don't understand
Don't you know I'm innocent
Swallowed by indifference
But you don't seem to fucking care now do you?

Escape is all we need
To a place called disappear

I would give anything to see you smile again
Like I did last summer
I would give anything to feel alive again
But I guess it counts for nothing

With confidence aside
You face another tide
Your fragile strctures break

In a single empty stare
In just one breathe of air
This time your innocence will fail you

Show me how to live again
Why can't you show me how to live again

3. With Love And A Bullet

So empty, so cold
I'm the clay that you would
So eager to please
I'm down, down on my knees

No love without tears
It hurts like nothing else
no love without fears
It hurts to believe in us

I don't regret the things I've donw
I don't feel sorry for causing you pain
I don't feel your love no more
Can I break these chains
Don't you feel the aching pain
from a bleeding heart once again
Don't you feel the shame,
I'm just a fool for loving you
No passion, no spark
No candles burning in the dark
So empty, damn you're cold
Break me down and swallw my soul

No heat, no flame
It hurts to play this game
No redemption nor hope
It hurts to believe in us

So here we are in this misery
And once again you're killing me
So take my hand
and feel the sorrow
Let us drown in the tears
of a broken tomorrow

4. The Withering Of Mine

There's no one here, no one to be
The end of life will set me free
I close my eyes, but still I see
The tears running inside of me

Like an autumn leaf, I decline

To live but to be dead inside
Sweet solitude, for you I've cried
Dim the lights, hold me tight
The sorrow is my only light

There is no happiness, inside of me
only darkness, running free
I close my eyes, but still I see
The tears running inside of me

Like an autumn leaf, I decline

To live but to be dead inside
Sweet solitude, for you I've cried
Dim the lights, hold me tight
The sorrow is my only light

To live...

5. Sorrow's Kitchen

I look straight into your eyes
Another stranger passing by
And it keeps me wonder,
were we meant to be?

And I can rest here at your side
In the darkness that you hide
Just reach out and lay your hansds on me

[Chorus]
In sorrow's kitchen will dance
Taste the wine, take a chance
Leae the rest of the world behind
Come with me this is our time...

In sorrow's kitchen we will make it last
In sorrow's kitchen...

I will listen as you speak
But don't turn on tricks on me
And don't answer me
with the same old question

So let us walk into the night
I will be your guiding light
Cause underneath the masquerade...
I know how you feel

In sorrow we will dance
Taste the tears of romance

Won't you come with me?
Won't you come with me?

[Chorus]
In sorrow's kitchen we will dance
Hurt each other time after time
Spend the rest of our days in tears
Come with me my precious...

In sorrow's kitchen

6. 1:40 AM

One burning winter night,
I saw the world through a different light
Euphoria she smiled at me and took me by the hand
Connected through drunken ties,
bent out of shape just kill some time
We're losing ground as we speak,
We better walk away

I didn't mean to be the one,
But I can't make up my mind

We're moving down, down, down
As your hand slips into mine
And without a sound
The world comes crashing down
We pray to the moon, to keep our secret
I won't forget the time, we walked into the light

Yet another cross to bear,
I didn't think I'd really care
With the noose tight around my neck,
I struggle to survive And every time I disappear
Into drunken pastures of despair
I search the light that we once shared,
though my hearts says walk away

We're moving down, down, down
As your hand slips into mine
And without a sound
the world comes crashing down
We pray to the moon, to keep our secret
I won't forget the time, we walked into the light

With no time left to spend
At 1:40 AM

7. Murky Waters

In my dark and empty heartland
Shadows paint the walls
And from what I can remember
I've deceived you all

In my dark and empty heartland,
Sorrow keeps moving in
And nothing seems to be changing
This everlasting sin

I've let it slip away, stabbed in the back
Stuck in all this madness, I'm about to crack

So let these murky waters take me home
I don't want to be here left alone

In this broken barren wasteland
Hope's my only friend
And my wounds they seem so lonely
Will they ever mend?

In my dark and empty heartland
Shadows paint the walls
In the reflections from the mirrod
I see a portrait of a whore

8. Way Down Low

I did you wrong, there's no point in saying
That we can't go on, I've seen it in your eyes
I live within and I know that it hurts you
I watche the distance growing colder with each lie
(with each lie)

I'm way down low
Where the darkness grows
I feel way down low
And I'm begging you, please
Resurrect my soul

It's been too long, it goes without saying
So I move on, no point in dragging you down
I've felt the seasons turn,
I watched your hale burn
No second chance,
No fake romance can save us now
(save us now)

9. Empty Days

The shadows are closing in
Haunted by the breathing shame
And I know, I can not be be forgiven

My tears made out of sin
Blinded by the heart
And I know, I can't go on

So I leave these empty days behind me
I put my head into the noose

Hey, Hey
So I leave these empty days behind me
C'est la vie
So long

With darkness in my eyes
I reach for the other side
And I know, I'm on my way

As the noose gets tighter
As I fear the dark
I know, that I've been forgiven

10. Slowmotion Apocalypse

I try to find a way, to crompehend with the mess I'm in
I find it hard to stay,
surrounded by emotions so sickening
I can not breathe, in quicksand you know

It's been a long hard road... of unsound thinking
But I keep moving on, meanwhile I'm sinking

It's breathing down my neck
All the times we spent doing nothing
I wasted all those years,
While the years made a waste of me

I can not breathe,
In quicksand you know
