Shapeshifter - Invent Animate, Garrett Russell

Shapeshifter, an everchanging hue

Chromatic variance I can see right through

Sharpen your senses, blend with the backdrop

That obscures you, concealed by fear

Hiding in plain sight

I can’t replace you, I never meant to

I regret to say you were one of a kind

Understand we share a bond that was left behind

Shapeshifter, no color looks like you, world turning grey

All you want is something new

Shapeshifter, your color’s burning out

I watched you fade away into decay

We stared at the sun

Gazed into the haze until the colors faded into a shade of delusion

Drifting away, you traded doubt for fate, a sorry soul at stake

You’ve become another shapeshifter

I knew you by distance

You showed me there’s no love like loss

Count the seconds, recall the memories

Spindles descending from the calloused hands of time

You showed me there’s no love like loss

I regret to say you were one of a kind

Understand we share a bond that was left behind

Brothers who loved one another

We had a lot to lose, it shouldn’t have been you

Shapeshifter, no color looks like you, world turning grey

All you want is something new

Shapeshifter, your color’s burning out

I watched you fade away like you never wanted dark
