A recorded reading of “Shadows and Honey”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
Golden shadows dance on the wall, Sticky sweet, the night’s slow crawl. Every word’s a loaded gun, We’re just playing games, but the game’s no fun. A fleeting touch, a hollow smile, These moments fade after a while. Honey drips, but it’s bittersweet, We’re stuck in a loop we can’t repeat. Honey drips, shadows sway, Another lie to pass the day. Sweet and bitter, lost in time, Shadows and honey blur the line. Each word’s a trap, each laugh a clue, We chase the lies we thought we knew. The truth’s too sharp to hold for long, So we wrap it up in a honeyed song. Honey drips, shadows sway, Another lie to pass the day. Sweet and bitter, lost in time, Shadows and honey blur the line. Some will fall and never rise, Lost to stars in endless skies. But even in their fleeting flight, They cast a glow against the night. Honey drips, shadows sway, Another lie to pass the day. Sweet and bitter, lost in time, Shadows and honey blur the line. Golden shadows dance on the wall, Sticky sweet, the night’s slow crawl.
