Stained Glass Shadows

Dust is dancing in the morning beam Through a broken saint in a shattered screen The red is bleeding, the blue is cold This is the story that the windows told Your silhouette is a jagged line Like a ghost left over from a better time We used to pray for the sun to rise Now it’s just a spotlight on the lies The altar’s empty, the pews are cracked There ain’t no road that’s gonna lead us back But you’re still standing in the colored light A beautiful ruin in a losing fight Nothing stays holy when the roof falls in But God, I still love where we’ve both been.. We’re just dancing in the stained glass shadows! Watching the colors fade into the gallows If love is a temple that’s built on the sand Then let the tide come and take our hand It’s dark, it’s divine, it’s a long way down In the stained glass shadows of this ghost town! I see the purple on your pale skin A mosaic of where the end begins Don't ask for mercy, don't ask for grace The void is the only thing we can't erase Nothing stays holy when the roof falls in But God, I still love where we’ve both been... We’re just dancing in the stained glass shadows! Watching the colors fade into the gallows If love is a temple that’s built on the sand Then let the tide come and take our hand It’s dark, it’s divine, it’s a long way down In the stained glass shadows of this ghost town! This ghost town The glass is sharp... The light is gone... But we’re still here... Holding on... Holding on! We’re just dancing in the stained glass shadows! Yeah, we're dancing! If love is a temple that’s built on the sand Then let the tide come and take our hand It’s dark, it’s divine, it’s a long way down In the stained glass shadows of this ghost town! Just shadows... All love turns to void.
