The moment that she left the room, 

The album started skipping. 

Goodbye to beauty shared with the ones you love. 

A shadow this is fallen over this town 

A shadow that is fallen over this town. 



attention all of my worst critics 

who were once the best of friends 

your rapture grows on the power of 

two romantic speculations 

two romantic speculations 



sighting them shape-shifting 

dissolve into the darkness, 

a final opinion is of less value 

than an appreciation of 

intolerance for obscurity. 



two actors told me that 

their pianos are playing at once 

through the dust, i found it difficult 

my sight meant to keep 'em blotted out 

to keep 'em blotted out and out and out. 



two romantic speculations, 

two romantic speculations. 



sighting them shape-shifting, 

dissolve into the darkness, 

a final opinion is of less value 

than an appreciation of intolerance 



a shadow that is fallen over this town 

a shadow that is fallen over this town 

a shadow that is fallen over this town 

a shadow that is fallen over this town 

a shadow that is fallen over this town 

a shadow that is fallen over this town 



[how can you still love me? 

there's better, there's better 

better things. 

there's better things to love 

there's better things to love 

a shadow that is fallen over this 

a shadow fallen over 

a shadow that is fallen 

a shadow that is fallen on me] 



sighting them shape-shifting 

dissolve into the darkness, 

a final opinion is of less value 

than an appreciation for intolerance 



sighting them shape-shifting 

dissolve into the darkness, 

a final opinion is of less value 

than an appreciation of . . . 

as if it were a dream.
