Ryan Dawson - Shot Me Down Lyrics

Dead to light
The dawn is foundering
Limping through the star-dim sky
In your eyes
The gulf is spreading out
To consume you
Windows swing on chaos black

Underneath
The skin of offering
Heresy is thinly masked
And old beliefs
Are slowly crumbling
To expose the fragile heart
Of star-white fear

I slipped this town
On a vulture's wing
More lost than lonely
You shot me down
With a flaming dart

Long ago
And conscience withering
You were twisted black and red
Far below
The fated tumbling
You disintegrated
Flooding me at last

Dead to light
The dark is swallowing
What I hoped would be the blood
Of this new day
Love denied
The path I'm following
Stretches into the inferno
Where you lie

I slipped this town
On a vulture's wing
More lost than lonely
You shot me down
With a flaming dart
