Please, please be my light filter

Shine, make me a shelter

To hide this love

Makes you lose your sign

Now the search party's on its way

And the flood lights are 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 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.
