Three times around Devil's tower in slow motion To the coral reef to sink my life in the ocean Down to the delta on a trail almost fading To the sound of the city with the name of a maiden And I can see your razor gaze Shimmer in that valley's cracked salt glaze 'Cause you're the reason why I know I faded like a shadow You're the reason why I know I traded a smile For tears on my pillow Everything sweet vapourized in a mist Everything bitter I still clench in a fist And all that I am left with are memories in splinters A stone painted yellow and a sunbeam for winter And I can hear poison words you've spoken Shatter like the ice the night cracks open 'Cause you're the reason why I know I faded like a shadow You're the reason why I know I traded a smile For tears on my pillow I'll build myself a castle High up on this mountain Flowers from the ruins And the pieces of your city 'Cause you're the reason why I know I faded like a shadow You're the reason why I know I traded a smile For tears on my pillow
