Don’t Tempt The Shadow Lyrics by Sailing Stones

Polymnia

2019

Don’t tempt the shadow
Heavy like a black cloak
It’s a weighty and illusive veil
I can’t see you if shadows will consume
They don’t shelter from the beating hail
Just icy little bullets
Melting and moving
You cower and you don’t prevail
Nothing but a shadow
See how it hangs low
You’re bigger than the lightless shape
Baby would you come on home
Watching it turn into stone
As if by magic
But darling it is tragic
Knowing how you think you’ve flown
Uprooted by this empty oath
There is nothing in the wings you’ve sewn
You say they’re solid like the skin and bone
Don’t tempt the shadow
Playing like an actor
It’s a method but it eats away
It used to dance around you
But now it found you
Illusion darkens up your face
See how it runs
Burying the crux
I will not believe you’ve changed
I’m wary of the shadow
See how it hangs low
They keep you in a distant shade
Baby would you come on home
Watching it turn into stone
As if by magic
But darling it is tragic
Knowing how you think you’ve flown
Uprooted by this empty oath
There is nothing in the wings you’ve sewn
You say they’re solid like the skin and bone
