shadow puppets - spenser lajoye lyrics

Loading...

we’re prepared to lose power
every candle collected, tub full of water
street siren, news anchor
goes silent, the bas*m*nt
sp*ce beneath the staircase
is a playhouse and a stage

by the spotlight of the tallest burning wick
she writes a plot line with her palms and fingers twisting
i give it a shot
but all that i got

is a shadow so big, a shadow so wide
it’s a darkness i could fit my whole self inside
she says “just pull away, away from the flame
now it’s a shapе you can make with your hand
just an owl coming to land
just a monster you can understand”

i’vе a way with my words
and i use ‘em to run you into the woods
past the curve of our street
jump the curb, in the weeds
find you curled beneath a dead tree
say you hurt because of me
by the spotlight of a blazing august sun
you write a plot line in my veins i can’t outrun
but i give it a shot
give it all that i got

that shadow is big, that shadow is wide
it’s a darkness i could fit my whole self inside
but when i pull away, away from the flame
it’s a shape i can make with my hand
just a woman sinking in sand
just a monster i can understand

just a broken commandment
a wooden spoon, a shaking hand
just a kiss in the back of a car
brand new bible, steady arm
just an addict playing the piano
and a kid praying up to the stars
as a mother looks at her shadows
and can’t understand who they are

that shadow is big, that shadow is wide
it’s a darkness that i fit my whole self inside
but if i pull away, away from the flame
they’re just shapes i can make with my hand
owls coming to land
people sinking in sand
i can understand
