Would you like to see my mind
Full of confident doubts and assured regrets
Pull off competent designs
Just let go
Please let go
And it's been a long time now
But I never thought I'd be here
Forever tryin' to work it out
Just let go
Please let go
All I see when I look inside myself and try to find the blame
It's all in you and everytime I look above all I think is someone's faking this
I've never been a betting bloke
But I bet you'll twist the knife again
Regretting every time you spoke
Shut this down
Tear this down
Your roots tear down to the core
Your routes turn forever more
And in the shadow of the perfect sun
I've become an afterglow that tries to cast its own shape upon the world
And I'm desperate to make my mark
Scratch my name into the bark of you
Into the bark of you
You speak true, nice and true
You sneak through, right on through
Don't tell me what I lost, what I gained
There's no need to count costs and explain
That let's me down this easily
All I ask is this
Don't leave me in the
Shadow of the perfect sun
I've become an afterglow that tries to cast its own shape upon the world
And I'm desperate to make my mark
Scratch my name into the bark of you
Into the bark of you
