not enough horror

[fledgist]

 

you pause a moment and the shadow fades
so much was said and then forgotten fast
a lot of life goes missing in the shades

the river is not silent it cascades
in all its glory and it goes so fast
you pause a moment and the shadow fades

so many reasons to learn these new trades
you know so well that magic does not last
a lot of life goes missing in the shades

we learn so quickly we'll get paid in spades
there's barely time for us to be aghast
you pause a moment and the shadow fades

what happens now will happen in decades
it isn't something safely in the past
a lot of life goes missing in the shades

not everything is out on the parades
nor can we trust in just a single cast
you pause a moment and the shadow fades
a lot of life goes missing in the shades
