Growing My Shadow

Lyrics

As I put on the lipstick on,
I see your face
Gathering behind me
Determining my place
Forming the focus for the day
For my day

As I shape my brows
To a mild surprise
A questioning arch
Over dancing eyes
I catch a corner, a hint of light
A fractured display

Growing my shadow, painted day after day
Reflections from you
Deflections from me
Growing my shadow, painted day after day
I’m growing my shadow
A portrait, a frame

As I add rose to my cheeks
Colouring a ghost
I see a tear streak
Ribbons of words I cannot say
As is my way

Darkening lashes reflecting the light
Blockaded in flashes, they flicker for flight

Growing my shadow, painted day after day
I’m growing my shadow
A portrait, a frame
I’m growing my shadow
Face made for the day
