The Offer - Yowler

The shadow, my shadow I can’t see

Still figure suspended behind me

The spirits and shapes they make

I’ve never grown to hold their face in the dark

So the offer I make

Is a promise to stay here

Though my wounds do grow

May I hold onto this hope

Their dark heads will quiet in my sight

Hands will stay from me this night if I only close my eyes

To the ones outside of my sight

The offer I make

Is a promise to stay here

If I only close my eyes to the ones outside of my sight

And give honor to what I can’t know

They will walk with me where I go

But be still behind their shroud

May they never speak out loud, out loud

Ooh (3x)

So the offer I make

Is a promise to stay here

May they leave me out of their wandering

And be still
