idlewild - actually it's darkness lyrics

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
you're just too gullible

actually it's darkness, i don't know what i'm scared of
it'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 can't you be more cynical?

i knew the winter could protect me from it
one box if film won't make it all go cold
i thought that winter could hide me from everything
i'm just too gullible, for words

actually it's darkness, i don't know what i'm scared of
it'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 can't you be more cynical?

i don'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, you're a deeper darker reason...

you shed a shade of shyness
you shed a shade of shyness
you shed a shade of shyness
why can't you be more cynica
