Red House Painter - Shadows lyrics

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
