Abstracts - Skylight lyrics

Back and forth, push it through the floorboards Memories won't let you breathe And I am left to sift through the ashes Flames have taken all of me This house is unrelenting with the vision of you The echoes are swallowing all, leaving hollow regrets that run me through (Chain! Unchain! Chain! Unchain!) Oh what strength it would take to break free, but What if you did, what if you did (chorus) Transparent form of life, once I had called you mine Transcend the black and white, reach down and shape this life Remove these blinded eyes and give me the gift of a giant's sight Remove these blinded eyes and give me the gift of a giant's sight That will never falter but will survive At first light you can bet that my first move will be to run to the door Every spotlight begets a shadow, and though it's behind me It's hungry jaws want more (chorus) Transparent form of life, once I had called you mine Transcend the black and white, reach down and shape this life Remove these blinded eyes and give me the gift of a giant's sight That will never falter but will survive Even from the mountain's height I can see the valley beneath me The darkened path I've tread bares its claws and teeth to reach me The rooms speak unintelligible whispers in your voice It's coming from the other side of the bed and It's the sound and the color That fills up my heart and drains out the life That's left inside my eyes I wrap my heart in stone so I won't feel so alone This granite casing is suffocating An aching hand without a match to hold (chorus) Transparent form of life, once I had called you mine Transcend the black and white, reach down and shape this life Remove these blinded eyes and give me the gift of a giant's sight That will never falter but will survive Back and forth, push it through the floorboards Memories of you here with me And I am left to sift through the ashes Flames will rebirth all of me Though I'm moving, you're the only one alive
