Several; (so that others may thrive) Lyrics by Oakhands

The Shadow of Your Guard Receding

2020

I’ve spent a thousand nights warding off dreams
All those nights I’m scared cause
I wonder if there was anything I could have done
Just anything

Say my name, say what’s my body worth
If all the pieces can’t fit inside this form
I will never be good enough for me
I will never be right for someone else

I used to be able to tell
When enough was enough
I used to be able to separate love from bad luck
But forgot
I write a lot to find some sense
I write one-liners in the sand
Oh the time I’ve spent
But the shaking in the seraphs
Doesn’t match the shaking in my hands
Oh the time I’ve spent

I wish that I could speak the words
When they stop
But I won’t
Written by your well shaped hand
Spoken by a boy who could have grown into
What could be called the shell of a man
Give me one more burst of sunrise
Another, another rundown at the dance tape
The past made clear I’ve seen enough
My fears a friend that speaks in tongues
Oh the time I’ve spent

Bronze by gold by god disgraced I implore thee
Don´t leave me
Bronze by gold by god disgraced I implore thee
A place for me to keep

Stay with me, with me
Stay here with me
Stay with me, with me
Stay here with me
I’ve spent a thousand nights warding off dreams
All those nights I’m scared cause
I wonder if there was anything I could have done
