Please, please be my light filter

Shine, make me a shelter

To hide this love

Makes you lose your sign

Now the search rise is on its way

And the flood lights are on my face

All the shadows that I woke up 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 really tried

Only time is a lover's guide

And now the ratings 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
