reflections are protections

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
