Leaves
Please be my light-filter
Shine, make me a shelter to hide
'cause love makes you lose your sight
And now the search party’s on its way
And the floodlight’s on my face
All the shadows that I walk in
Are just my volatile second skin
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you’re ready, come into the light
Lines, Design a pathway
Shine, cut out the dark shapes to find
Although I’ve really tried
Only time is a lover’s guide
And now the railings fall away
And the stencils draw a face
Our outlines in the sunset
Are just a fragile silhouette
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you’re ready, come into the light
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
If you leave me, I’ll go back to hide
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
When you’re ready, come into the light
My reflections are protections
They will keep me from destruction
My directions are distractions
If you leave me, I’ll go back to hide
