Lyrics Shadows - Red House Painters

Shadows

The coarse and white colored skin
It blends with the state you’re in
And the wetness of your eyes
Against a sun that clouds blind
You ain’t saying nothing that i don’t already know
When you say love’s dimming light won’t shine on tomorrow
Chalk white apartment walls
Surfaces my every flaw
And the naked and still in here
It brings some real life into clear
You ain’t doing nothing that i don’t already know
When you hide your sorry head in pillows
You fake a strained, sort of grin
That matches the shape you’re in
And accept any lies are truth
After the long year that we’ve been through
You ain’t doing nothing that i don’t already know
When you say life takes turns like fiery shadows
