Three times around Devil’s tower in slow motion
To the coral reef to sink my life in the ocean
Down to the delta on a trail almost fading
To the sound of the city with the name of a maiden
And I can see your razor gaze
Shimmer in that valley’s cracked salt glaze
‘Cause you’re the reason why
I know
I faded like a shadow
You’re the reason why
I know
I traded a smile
For tears on my pillow
Everything sweet vapourized in a mist
Anything bitter I still clench in a fist
And all that I am left with are memories in splinters
A stone painted yellow and a sunbeam for winter
And I can hear poison words you’ve spoken
Shatter like the ice the night cracks open
‘Cause you’re the reason why
I know
I faded like a shadow
You’re the reason why
I know
I traded a smile
For tears on my pillow
I’ll build myself a castle
High up on this mountain
Flowers from the ruins
And the pieces of your city
‘Cause you’re the reason why
I know
I faded like a shadow
You’re the reason why
I know
I traded a smile
For tears on my pillow
