stay in the dark, it’s darker out there, stay in the dark, it’s darker in here, stay in the dark, stay in the dark
this would be comforting if i could put my finger on it
this could be what i need if i accepted that it was chronic
but here i am wondering if i’ve ever known what i really wanted
other than suffering, at least my guilt is always honest
that i promise
but who believes a boy who lives in fable
i’m unable to evade my past evasions
and celebrations and worst of all all my temptations
i am tempted to lose my temper just to feel something like centered
i surrender to be tender
stay in the dark, it’s darker out there, stay in the dark, it’s darker in here
this would be promising if we could trust the transformation
we could be processing if we detected the simulation
instead it’s toppling because they demand a tribulation
looking to profiting as if false gods can grant salvation
a desecration
we’ve got everybody on the same side
they don’t realize that we’re losing they’re refusing
instead choosing to root against the home team
bursted pipe dreams in the basement and blood out on the pavement
out of patience, a shortchanged nation
but who believes a boy who lives in fable
i’m unable to evade my past evasions
and celebrations and worst of all all my temptations
i am tempted to lose my temper just to feel something like centered
i surrender to be tender
stay in the dark, it’s darker out there, stay in the dark, it’s darker in here, stay in the dark, stay in the dark
What does "fuvk" mean in the first place? Well, find the letter "v" on a computer keyboard, and it will strike you immediately. An unusual name for an artist, and so is her music. I don't know from which corner of her head Shirley Zhu gets all of these splendid song ideas - but nevermind, I hope this source never runs dry. Sven B. Schreiber (sbs)
