Shadowplay

To the centre of the city
Where all roads meet searching for you
To the depths of the ocean
Where all hopes sank searching for you
I was moving through the silence
Without motion, looking for you
In a room with no window
In the corner I found truth

In the shadowplay, acting out your
Own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped
In four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies
Made a move to connect
I could only stare in disbelief
As the crowds all left

I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city
In night looking for you
To the centre of the city
In night looking for you
