about

"Sickle in the Shade" is a piano-driven rock song that expresses an impending sense of doom and the fear that all things will fall apart.

lyrics

I feel afraid for you
I see your future falling out from under
I feel afraid for you
Cataclysmic premonition
Cosmic blunder
It could only be real
It can't be what we make it
There is no veil between
That could be extricated
There is no veil

Your lips are moving
But all I hear is what you didn't say
Your lips are moving
But all I hear is what you didn't say

I feel afraid for you
Intoxicated with the thought that seizes me
I won't be made to say
A single solitary word that pleases you
It could only be real
These shadows aren't illusions
I see the sickle in the shade
Coming to cut confusion
I see it there

Your lips are moving
But all I hear is what you didn't say
Your lips are moving
But all I hear is what you didn't say

It could only be real
It can't be what we make it

I can see the sickle in the shade
I can see the sickle in the shade
But all I hear is what you didn't
All I hear is what you didn't
All I hear is what you didn't
All I hear is what you didn't say
