In a shadow

In a shadow
You know better than to gamble,
With gravity, with gravity.
Now our heros had his last day,
A memory, remember.
Songs playing loud,
Fighting crowds just for attention.
You don't stand a chance,
Nothing stays gold.
Now the man behind the curtain,
He's all poured out,
An empty cup,
Warns you nothing is for certain.
Too much too late,
Or not enough.
All the times that you caught a falling star,
To see it slip through your hands,
Nothing stays gold.
Catch up, catch up,
We don't have time for this.
Hold on, hold on,
Did you forget about us?
We watched the sun disappear,
Like we didn't belong.
Faded to grey.
Lost in a shadow.
(Lost in a shadow.)
Lost in a shadow.
If I can't have it no one else can,
There's no way out, there's no way out.
Like the dreams inside of your head,
You can't turn back don't stop now.
Nightmares are nightmares,
No matter where you wake up.
You forget everything,
Our touch is cold.
The last word you'll sing,
"Nothing stays gold"
Catch up, catch up,
We don't have time for this.
Hold on, hold on,
Did you forget about us?
We watched the sun disappear,
Like we didn't belong.
Faded to grey.
Lost in a shadow.
(Lost in a shadow.)
Lost in a shadow.
We watched the sun disappear,
Like we didn't belong.
Faded to grey.
Lost in a shadow.
Lost in a shadow.
Catch up, catch up,
We don't have time for this.
Hold on, hold on,
Did you forget about us?
We watched the sun disappear,
Like we didn't belong.
Faded to grey.
Lost in a shadow.
(Lost in a shadow.)
Lost in a shadow.
