[Verse 1] I left you where the silence waits A shape I don’t know how to chase Your shadow cuts across the glow Too close again, your face stone cold I speak to echoes of your form A chill that comes before the storm You pass through streets I used to know A quiet danger, soft and low [Pre-Chorus 1] I see you move, but you’re not mine A living edge I can’t define [Chorus 1] I thought I buried you, but you return Alive in form, and my heart still burns I can’t grieve you twice, can’t undo The life I lost when I knew you I thought I buried you, but shadows stay They brush my skin, then fade away [Verse 2] A flash of black, a frozen stare You cross my path, I feel the air The night pulls tight, I step aside No words, no warmth behind your eyes I turn away, I hold my breath Dancing with your living death You move through moments I can’t claim A dark reflection with no name [Pre-Chorus 2] The air goes sharp wherever you tread A pulse I feel but never let [Chorus 2] I thought I buried you, but here you rise Stone-cold eyes in borrowed light Your ghost still walks where I’ve been led A quiet burn inside my head I thought I buried you, but shadows stay They follow me, then fade away [Bridge] I can’t keep you alive in mind I let you rest so I survive You linger still, but I am free The part I loved stays buried in me [Chorus 3] I thought I buried you, but you return Alive in form, and my heart still burns Stone-cold eyes in borrowed light Your ghost still walks into my night I thought I buried you, but shadows stay They brush my skin, then fade away [Violin Solo] [Chorus 4] I thought I buried you, but you remain A quiet heat inside the pain Alive in form, but out of reach A memory I don’t repeat I thought I buried you, but shadows stay They walk beside me, then fade away [Chorus 2] I thought I buried you, but here you rise The Devil’s might in borrowed light Your ghost still walks where I’ve been led A quiet burn inside my head I thought I buried you, but shadows stay They follow me, then fade away [Bridge] I can’t keep you alive in mind I let you rest so I survive You linger still, but I am free The part I loved stays buried in me [Chorus 3] I thought I buried you, but you return Alive in form, and my heart still burns Snake-like eyes, a liar’s delight Your ghost still walks into my night I thought I buried you, but shadows stay They brush my skin, then fade away [Violin Solo] [Chorus 4] I thought I buried you, but you remain A quiet heat inside the pain Alive in form, but out of reach A memory I don’t repeat I thought I buried you, but shadows stay They walk beside me [Chorus 5] I thought I buried you, yet you remain A flicker of heat in the shadowed rain Alive in form, but far from me A trace of what I used to see I thought I buried you, but shadows stay They walk beside me [Final Line] Then fade away

I Thought I Buried You
