By and Down

Moving in and out of the shadow

It's no easy mission

Holding on to how I picture you

Showing only bits and pieces

'Til the tide betrays you

And your empty allocution

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace of humility

Searching your eyes for the saint is an act of futility

Searching your eyes for a hint or trace of it

Searching your eyes for humility

Searching your eyes for a hint or a trace

I'm still searching, searching

Showing only bits and pieces

'Til the light betrays you

And your empty allocution

Rode the piper by and down the river

Carcass crippled underneath

The pounding waves of adoration

Pied Piper float on down the river

Bloated carcass crippled me

The weight of adoration

Moving in and out of the shadow

It's no easy mission

Holding on to how I picture you
