this is how to become a shadow on the wall-
kiss the silence, it's the only one that still wants you now
ooh, love your fears
ooh, cover your ears

make your cries sound more soothing, like raindrops on the roof
tune your screams to your footsteps so no one has to look
ooh, love your fears
ooh, cover your ears

do what's quietest and learn to cry on demand
never be anywhere without a extra noose ready on hand
ooh, love your fears
ooh, cover your ears

ooh, love your fears
ooh, cover your ears
ooh, bite back tears
ooh, an end is near

this is how to become a shadow on the wall-
kiss the silence, it's the only one that still wants you now
ooh, love your fears
ooh, cover your ears
(Updated version)

i can feel everything knotted and bunched into some hellish stone at the pit of my stomach, and you know theres just nothing i can do about it. i keep thinking 'this is the loneliest i'll ever be'- i need a voice to say to me, 'then just wait to see how you feel in 10 minutes.'

one day when i'm brave ill record this..
