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.
