You emerge through your haze
unsettling my peace of mind
The brilliance of repugnance
sends rays of lights through the blinds
And a false promise
an ether to my doubts
Is blurring all my senses
while you wait to witness my shout
And when I approach
you billow from the dark
I gaze you drag along
pieces of my old bad luck
each is a bleeding relic
of the girl you used to know
You avenge on me
for you believe I'm her shadow
But no shades could survive here
and you too must fade away
For there's no war for no soldier
who needs rifles with which to play
And you must find you went astray
you must digest the fact you're not a sinner but a boy
And I am made of vulnerable flesh, not of clay
and it's not a rifle but a toy
But you keep on shooting arrows
so I'll keep on fighting back
Until you will come out of the shadows
and acknowledge you lost my track
