All Shadows - Anna Ternheim

There is the one ceiling the lies

A fine veil over your eyes

Even the ocean, holding the tide

Your hopes while you’re slaving for time

This is the one who knows no regret

Who knows who you are

You’ve never met

But one day he’ll find you

Where ever you are

Owner of land he never walked on

All shadows, even the sun

All shadows, even the sun

All shadows, even the sun

Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears

There is the one ceiling the lies

A fine veil over your eyes

Wake up one day and you’ll realize how

Hard you’ve been running most of your life

All shadows, even the sun

All shadows, even the sun

All shadows, even the sun

Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears

Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin

He waves at the old with his back to the wall

Waves at the young, the lost, the bored

Giving the sad eye while in his mind

You’re not adding straws to the pile

Maybe he’ll give you a few more years

Placing the time glass on your stairs

From that day your life’s caving in

You’ll blame yourself, no one ever blames him

All shadows, all shadows

All shadows, even the sun

Without a doubt he knows how to count your tears
