Salt And Shadow

The sky took its cue

Every color and hue on display

Till thick veils of indigo

Signaled the end of the day

But each landscape

That lies in the mirror of your eyes

Turns to grey

On the edge of a knife's

Like you're living your life, on the stage

We're talking through glass

We're just square photographs on a page

Oh, we're never alone

But we're each in our own little cage

You're here but it's clear

You're just salt and shadow

Here half a world away

You're here but you're nearly a hologram

Here, still so far away

You manage to hide even here by my side where we lay

Here in this bed where I sense every thread start to fray

And I feel our skin touch But there's only so much you can say

You're here but it's clear

You're just salt and shadow

Here half a world away

You're here but you're nearly a hologram

Here, still so far away
