CASTING SHADOWS
VERSE 1
as heaven and hell dance in the afternoon
we watch the sun surrender to the moon
a housewife puts on make up to get noticed by her man
no matter how much she hates it she must do it again
smoke in the mirror and cynical drunks
from now on you start taken your father´s drugs
a small town boy scrapes the scars of his hand
no matter how much he hates it he must do it again
shadows fall words are mistaken
love letters are burned and the past is forsaken
people move on in a search for dry land
no matter how much they hate it they must do it again
when life on paper pulls us down by the wings
and we simply don´t like the sound of things
knowing we need to cross this line in the sand
no matter how much we hate it we must do it again
CHORUS
as the crow flies
the wings cast shadows sleeping hallow
as the crow flies
straight in a perfect line
VERSE 2
the murder of crows black staircases
dead flowers are pressed between blank pages
a young city girl has to take a firm stand
no matter how much she hates it she must do it again
digging a ditch by the low side of the road
tire swing by the lake and a broken milestone
a man who protects and serves brings down a friend
no matter how much he hates it he must do it again
navigating the sidewalks blood gets spilled
days run away like wild horses over the hills
things backfire people need to rethink their plans
no matter how much they hate it they must do it again
relying on a sack of religion after the downfall
frame my agony and hang it on the wall
the path I take is often chosen by life's demands
no matter how much I hate it I must do it again
