letra de shadows to light - tam thanh

Loading...

the world demands the glow
and the gloss
i’ve spent my life chasing through the shine
counting up the gain
ignoring the loss
of the soul
i once knew
to be mine

i practice the smile and the “i am fine”
i master the art of the perfect line
loving all the things that matter the least
forgetting the fact that glitters don’t last

i dress my shadows in clothes made for show
to fill up the void that only i know
i wrap all my grief in colourful shirts
to hide every bruise
to cover the hurts

the light is low
the air is cold
how i long for a hand to hold
how i need what cannot be sold
how i want to feel that i’m
alive
drowning in the crowd where the noise is loud
you move close to me while i’m lost in sound
in just a blink
my heart
goes
missing

it’s the swiftest heist
the most silent theft
just a single touch
and there’s nothing left
i forget to breathe as your eyes meet mine
the crowd fades away
all the noise stops
my mask falls
leaving only me

the world’s cheering at my clever disguise
but your eyes are not like the rest
you don’t just look
you can see right through
the version of me i pretend to be

you don’t try to fix each broken piece
your eyes always see beauty in my mess
not asking for more
not asking for less
you just hold my hand
and let me be me
you hear all my thoughts
what is left unsaid
you catch every breath that i hold too long
far beyond what is right and wrong
your light finds a way to dance in my dark

you love me for all that i am
the damage
the beauty
and the chaos

you show me i don’t need to be flawless
to be worth the view
to be
beautiful

no more costumes
no more masks
i feel free and alive at last
from my shadows to your light
i’m right where my heart
longs to be
i’m right where my heart
longs to be
