For Shade (My Lady)

from Don't, Don't by Monarcadia

/

lyrics

Every time we say goodbye
a curtain drops: eclipse.
The world in shade.

And I stand
with her burning sphere of light in hand,
want to hurl it to the heavens,
set the sable drapes ablaze.

Why cave and love her
just because she's beautiful?
Who gave a lover authority?

Candle wax melting toward my hands
as soon as syzygy arrives.
It's not a flare or dynamite
'cause I'm not trying to survive.

Why cave and love her
just because she's beautiful?
Who gave a lover authority?

You'd take a lover
out of insecurity.
Don't sing, Siren,
don't say you love me.

Indecisive days
will be the lonely ones.
Yesterday
I knew you're the only one.
Gonna find a way
to reignite the sun,
but I won't stay
'cause I don't believe in The One.

I won't stay
to reignite the sun,
gonna find a way
to know you're the only one.
Yesterday
was a lonely one.
In decisive days
I won't believe in The One.

Indecisive days
won't reignite the sun;
gonna find a way
'cause I don't believe in The One.
But I won't stay
to be the lonely one.
Since yesterday,
I know you're the only one.

(Why?)
