Inherited Shadows

Inherited Shadows [Intro] [Verse] The floorboards groan with the ghost of a name I’m wearing a coat that I didn’t create Stitched with the silver, lined with the blame Of a father who prayed at the iron gate The soil is heavy, the roots are old I’m digging for coins in a garden of stone [Pre chorus] It’s a hollow sound, it’s a bended knee The blood in the well is calling for me [Chorus] Oh, let the cathedral fall on my chest I’m carrying sins that I never confessed Breaking the glass of a stained-glass heart Where do the shadows end and I start? [Verse] I found a locket with salt in the grain A map to the desert, a debt in the rain Every heartbeat is an echo of "stay" But the ghosts in the hallway won't let me pray [Chorus] Oh, let the cathedral fall on my chest I’m carrying sins that I never confessed Breaking the glass of a stained-glass heart Where do the shadows end and I start? [Bridge] Wash the dust from my hands In the river of the promised lands But the water is black, and the tide is slow There’s no place for a shadow to go [Chorus] Oh, let the cathedral fall on my chest I’m carrying sins that I never confessed Breaking the glass of a stained-glass heart Where do the shadows end and I start? [Outro] Inherited shadows The weight of the bone I’m coming home To a house of my own Tags: #MelancholicPop #DarkVibes #GlixOriginal #MusicStudio #EmotionalVocals Author: Glix Snorx
