"Postfigurement" lyrics

The shade spreads wide across the sky
Into the night
Hovering high above our village

All this time I believed you would come for me
Pull me out of the dark before I get lost
(All their lies I believed you would come for me)

Hidden in plain sight
Placed in the shadow of the city
Closed the door and hid me away

Hope and my dreams have been stripped of me
Pull me out of this room before I rot
(Their lies I believed you would come for me)
All this time I believed you would come for me
Help me out of this dusk before I disappear
(I tried to get out of here and escape)

Flying above and spreading its wings
Claw like nails reaching for me
The sun has set but I still see my shadow
The sun has set but I still see my shadow
Shadow

Was it you? Was it me?
Was it nothing that I could see?
In the dark, in the light
There is only existence

Close the door
Lock the key before someone sees
Make believe I was gone
That I wasn't there
Hide away
I was placed in your shadow
I was left to decay, decay, decay, decay
(Escape, escape, escape, escape)

Pull me out
No one else
Pull me out
I need help
And nothing less
Till there's nothing left
