You thought the fire could protect you from it
But why have you been so, why have you been ill informed?
I felt that fire could protect me from everything
Youâ??re just too gullible

Actually itâ??s darkness, I donâ??t know what Iâ??m scared of
Itâ??s darkness, I must be scared of something
You must be scared of something, quite quite special

You shed a shade of shyness
You shed a shade of shyness
You shed a shade of shyness
Why canâ??t you be more cynical?

I knew the winter could protect me from it
One box if film wonâ??t make it all go cold
I thought that winter could hide me from everything
Iâ??m just too gullible, for words

Actually itâ??s darkness, I donâ??t know what Iâ??m scared of
Itâ??s darkness, I must be scared of something
You must be scared of something, quite quite special

You shed a shade of shyness
You shed a shade of shyness
You shed a shade of shyness
Why canâ??t you be more cynical?

I donâ??t look the same in the photograph
I need to look the way I did in the photograph
By mentioning places it will all become clear
If we speak the same language, youâ??re a deeper darker reason...

You shed a shade of shyness
You shed a shade of shyness
You shed a shade of shyness
Why canâ??t you be more cynical?
