We are beggars of the murdered, where nothing matters anymore As I'm surrounded by friends with false faces All the reasons are here, but less is more, more or less So I'm sustained in fluids and bloods and I'm cupped to this poisoned breast In your shadow, you doctored every part of me In your shadow, partially patient I dislocate my arm free The truth in your frightened eyes Throws a shadow over all that aches inside Sheltered and weak, temporary peace We float in perfect failure Staring into the abyss, such a shame to find me staring back As I'm cast away, on that river of sadness With two hands and a bucket of pain I eat your gospel, it tastes like rumors to me In your shadow, you doctored every part of me In your shadow, partially patient I dislocate my arm free In your shadow, my worth was no cost In your shadow, I traded time with loss "I am forever" Forever is all I have
