(BtS) Swimming in Shadows

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Witches and Jesus crowd the room

Bunnies and cats on the sill

Tigers and one slow butterfly

Every one makes me sigh

I gave the mirror my whole name

It handed back a stranger's face

Stained glass on the kitchen tile

I kneel down and rearrange

Pre-Chorus

Trash and class in the very same chair

I chew the shards like candy

New name folded in my pocket

Might come in handy

Chorus

We can live in a shared vision

Never meet in reality

We can swim inside our shadows

Come out glowing serenity

We can die a hundred small deaths

Live eternally

We can live in a shared vision

Come out glowing serenity

Post-Chorus

Glowing, glowing

Serenity

Glowing, glowing

Serenity

Verse 2

The clock keeps saying tick and tock

But it cannot tell the time

Ask it gently for a favor

It dispenses the next rhyme

When did loving everybody

Turn into a kind of crime

Take me back to shine

Pre-Chorus

The girl I buried found her voice

And she has one thing to say

Praised her once for speaking out

Now she has to pay

Chorus

We can live in a shared vision

Never meet in reality

We can swim inside our shadows

Come out glowing serenity

We can die a hundred small deaths

Live eternally

We can live in a shared vision

Come out glowing serenity

Post-Chorus

Glowing, glowing

Serenity

Glowing, glowing

Serenity

Bridge

Silly girl forgot that others borrow her

Silly girl may only defer

How silly to believe

She could ever hold herself

How silly to believe

She was owed a single thing

Beyond mystery and demure

Chorus

We can live in a shared vision

Never meet in reality

We can swim inside our shadows

Come out glowing serenity

We can die a hundred small deaths

Live eternally

Outro

You laugh but I won your little game

I made myself an object

So there is nothing left to gain

Glowing, glowing

Serenity
