Innocence in Shadows

Oh, won't you take my innocence?
For my ignorance is gone.
I watched it float down river
in some lost forgotten song.

It clung hard to the melody
that dreadful dying tune
and floated through the rapids
into impending doom.

And I, I stood there laughing
a raucous awful sound
like lightning in a storm
a rumble in the clouds.

Now I cling to something
yes, anything will do
For no matter how hard I swim
the current's straight toward you.

And my innocence is bleak
it wrestles with my sins
and tells me you still hold on
and we someday may win.

But, I do know that's wrong now
or maybe it should be
for the only one I ever loose
in this battle, is me.

So show me I am blind
take away my sight
for in the bleak darkness
I may finally see the light.

Unless it still casts shadows
and the shadow shapes are you
and in the dark I'm weeping
for there's nothing I can do.

Currents straight
shadows form
light fades
come the morn

and there's nothing I can do
No, even the shadows
the shadows look like you.
