Shine |
I wanna win a costume prize just so I can look you in the eyes |
And you’ll finally see me as really 'someone' |
And not just as another heart that’s always busy being broken |
But I know the only costume prize I’ll win |
Is if I go as The Invisible Man |
You could be a whispering ghost that floats like spilt milk |
You could be a rubber frown that only knows how to bend |
You could be one of the faces of the sirens that delight |
In pulling hope from the lips of those who can’t afford to pretend |
You play dress-up but you always wear the same clothes |
And I feel like a fool if I try and strike a pose |
And I already have a brilliant disguise — |
I wanna shine a light in your eyes |
You spent so much time trying to find a mask so ugly that |
No one would ever ask about your life story |
The one that you put in under my bed |
Before you decided you’d be happy living as one of the living dead |
The enemy takes many different forms |
And some wanna thrill you with his charms |
But I don’t wanna wear no scary disguise |
I wanna shine a light in your eyes |
