lyrics

The Shadow Narrative

The picture freezes over and the crackle appears
Spent far too long looking for a way to cure fear
Sound and vision melting as I approach the stage
Then slowly reconfigures as the motive gets framed

It's all about the suspected sub-plot
The one written on auto without all the dots
Without all the copy used to sell lies
An examination of what lives behind

The Shadow Narrative (It’s a broken dream)
The Shadow Narrative (An invisible machine)
The Shadow Narrative (For the whims of the wealthy)
The Shadow Narrative...

The Shadow Narrative – a dialogue with oneself
Talking to the ether with a bottle off the shelf
Sipping on the potion to drown out all the screams
Posing for the camera with a smile to meet the dreams

Bring it on back to the doubles in the bed
The ones so out of focus they start messing with your head
Talking over thoughts as they suddenly get close
Rip the whole thing up and measure out a dose

The Shadow Narrative (It’s a broken dream)
The Shadow Narrative (An invisible machine)
The Shadow Narrative (For the whims of the wealthy)
The Shadow Narrative…

The scene is slowly shifting and now drawing to an end
But the curtains still twitching while we're going round the bend
Ceiling lights diminished and fog is in the sky
Keep the script together and have another try – The Shadow Narrative.
