Lyrics
The games have ended now
It's all wrapped up, the dust has settled
Put to the test - and how
With missing pieces, scattered, never found
End up in mandatory, solitary, territory
Lacking lustre, cannot muster
Motivational muscle
Try to fill these banks of blanks
But worried that i'll fail
The minute she's beside me-
Thats when clarity prevails
Enter the room again
The shadow drawer, etching the past in
Need memory medicine
The shadow drawer
Drawing me closer
These sudden weights to bear
Unexpected, unimpaired
Borrowed time - fine for a while
Until the past comes back, to reconcile
It shatters, bold as lightening
Read my rights, i'm way too frightened
Trace a smile to get me through
Sketch on canvas- hurry, soon
Try to fill these banks of blanks
But worried that i'll fail
(The angels in the detail)
The minute she's beside me
Thats when clarity prevails
Into the room again
The shadow drawer
Etching my life in
Untethered in crosswinds
The shadow drawer
Ever closer
Resetting sights,to images left within range
Adjusting heights, to leap into the lights from pain
And again and again, to a low bar
Try to fill these banks of blanks
But worried that i'll fail
(The angel's in the detail)
The minute she's beside me
Thats when clarity prevails
Enter the room again
The shadow drawer, etching the past in
Need memory medicine
The shadow drawer
Drawing me closer
Ito the room again
The shadow drawer, filling the past in
Untethered in crosswinds
The shadow drawer
Ever closer
Fenced in the lion's den
The shadow drawer, letting the light in
Mist rising from within
The shadow drawer
Drawing me closer
