Shutter Lyrics


Ryan Macellaro Shutter


I heard your words to mess with fate tonight

I kept its time cause I’m not here to please myself

I kept my soil clean of tandem runs and armored verbs

Who escape your sight while you sleep


Prospects of images to foil rounds of memories

I’ve kept my mind made up your absence faints away

All these damaged pleas amidst the stringent beauty fly

Who all want to run away while you sleep


And I would whisper

And aren’t I getting a little old for this

Abandon my structure to the storm

And aren’t we getting a little used to this

This holding tight and standing firm


The North Shore reminds me of your face tonight

Surely we’ll meet when all enfolds

A place in the sand where I can still feel the warmth of the nights we used to keep

Holding confinements on the edge of space

By bonfires we sat about

More or less postponing our place

In the structure of grace I stood



And I would whisper to you

Would you keep me close at bay

Slowly reaching the light of day

Im always leaving but

I can hold you where I stand


How striking it is to recall that voice

I used to speak in parables to size you up

Your little big world how does it respond

How does it relate to me

Of a truth this is insanity

I knew id lose my mind

But duty calls the human heart back to the dust


The songs of ancient ships still always call my name

Sojourner escape my sight while I sleep

The shutter’s lies destroy your face


I know I’m leaving


Would you keep me close at bay

Slowly reaching the light of day

Im always leaving but

I can hold you where I stand


I whisper I know I am leaving

but vapours never seemed more important

and I know time is wasted

on too many actions

that in the end don’t justify any means at all


I hear the voice of one crying out tonight

Prepare ye the way of the Lord


The North Shore reminds me of your face tonight

Surely we’ll meet when all enfolds

A place in the sand where I can still feel the warmth of the nights we used to keep

Holding confinements on the edge of space

You said You placed eternity in our hearts

and I know it's there

I knew it all along
