Back to the Shadows

from Lines (2014) by Adrienne O

/

lyrics

my love worshipped at my feet
we admired the marks we'd leave
we gave each other poison to drink
and i remember it was sweet

i stood on the altar broken like a slave
he left me alone to feel the air on my face
he showed his devotion by knowing the edge
i showed mine by letting him walk on it

we owned each other like dogs on a leash
in the dark, but the sun broke us free

let's go back to the shadows
away from the light
let's go back there together
and remember how to fight
let's go deeper together
and stay in the night
let's go back to the shadows
and make it wrong, make it wrong, to make it right

we wrote hieroglyphics on clay in the rain
we poured acid on each other's rusty chains
we chased it down the rabbit hole a while
lost and blind, but feeling so alive

but now i wake each morning to a flat white sun
blinking in the white but nothing else i could have done
i took more of him than i knew he could give
but in breaking us apart, he made me live

we owned each other like dogs on a leash
in the dark, but the sun broke us free, oh!

oh, you broke me, so now i'm yours
but the pieces they still want more
just take me back to before

let's go back to the shadows
away from the light
let's go back there together
and remember how to fight
let's go deeper together
and stay in the night
let's go back to the shadows
and make it wrong, make it wrong, to make it right
