Lyrics Light And Shade - David J

Light And Shade

I remember when the rain came down
I was looking for the sun in the lost and found
Days spent in Doom’s company without my complicity
Fleeing from Archilee’s hound
I feel the stab of the thorny crown
A subtle shift in frequency
Making me see things differently
Light and shade
Chase and fade
My bravado shield
A fragile barricade
Waiting for the dead man’s click
If the winds change will this face stick
Will I fight to live another day?
The black dog standing on the bridge is every suicide’s ghost
It’s choke chain held by Vertigo
Temptress and perfect host
Light and shade
Chase and fade
My bravado shield
A fragile barricade
You say…
The gravy train has missed your stop
Top under dog
You can’t make this drop
Don’t despair now
Dancing to a different drum
I feel my senses over run with waves of joy
Spray on my face
The world becomes a better place to be
Sorrow shot by joy
Sorrow shot by joy
Sorrow shot by joy
Sorrow shot by joy
