The Shade of Fear (Acoustique)

[Verse 1]
Rusted into shape and sinking into dark
Holding onto emerald hearts and hoping for a spark
It's the faded memories, but the chill of feeling fine
It's the falling into madness, but I do this all the time

[Chorus]
It's the cannot carry on
It's the shade of fear, she said
It's the silk line torn to shreds
It's the weight of the rosary beads ‘round your head
It's the size of the monster's eyes under your bed
It's the shade of fear, she said

[Verse 2]
Breaking into piecеs, picking up the shards
Layin' them on ruby beds and chеrishing reopened scars
A fitting eulogy for the burning of the song
It's the sacred art of breaking down, you've known this all along

[Chorus]
It's the cannot carry on, whoa
It's the shade of fear, she said
It's the silk line torn to shreds
It's the weight of the rosary beads ‘round your head
It's the size of the monster's eyes under your bed
It's the shade of fear, she said, uh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
It's the shade of fear, she said
It's the silk line torn to shreds, oh
It's the weight of the rosary beads ‘round your head
It's the size of the monster's eyes under your bed
It's the shade of fear, she said, whoa
It's the shade of fear, she said
And I'm barely breathing
It's the silk line torn to shreds
And I'm broken, beaten
It's the weight of the rosary beads ‘round your head
It's the size of the monster's eyes under your bed
It's the shade of fear, she said, whoa
It's the shade of fear, she said
