World of Shadows Songtext

von The Floating Men

Don't say a word
Words won't change things
'Cause if I thought it was right, you could stay every night from now on
I don't need a friend
And you ain't gonna save me
You can romanticize and fantasize at night but some things you can't own
You're so damn young
Thrills come so easy
When you've been kicked around the underground like I have you might turn to stone
Don't swallow the lies
The hallow glamour
'Cause if you think it's all handshakes and earthquakes, girl you got it wrong
Don't you fear the darkness?
Let your dreams be dreams
You don't need what you want
I don't know how to make you go home
How do I turn off what I never meant to turn on?
Go spend all your time out in the sunshine
Girl, you don't belong here in my world of shadows.

Don't get me wrong
I know how love feels
And if I couldn't care I wouldn't dare pretend that it's time to move on
You might be strong
But you're never strong enough
See, I was born with the clean heart of a child but now look how I've grown
Don't you fear the darkness?
Let your dreams be dreams
You don't need what you want
I don't know how to make you go home
How do I turn off what I never meant to turn on?
Go spend all your time out in the sunshine
Girl, you don't belong here in my world of shadows.
