Vildhjarta - Shiver lyrics

Weakening, slowly breaking down my defense. Reasoning, your words must be the cause of my distrust. If you give the world a chance It will beat you down to your knees. If you try to fight it back It will beat you again and again. There's a pain much greater than any one you can feel through your skin. Greater than broken bones, cut up flesh or anything physical. When the fabric of your soul is torn to shreds by yourself or by others, it's torture. If you can feel a shiver at the edge of your mind, Don't be afraid - you've just got your eyes closed. If you feel something brush against your skin. Don't be afraid - just keep your eyes closed. The one whose face can launch a thousand ships Has the power to crush the hearts of them all. When you are sinking thru the black void of the ocean, It's a continuous discomfort that the world is unforgiving, A relentless torrent of punishment. An inward glance of your fragile self Can be all to immense to comprehend. So turn your eyes of despair towards the sun Forge your will into steel and slice the wind. If you give the world a chance It will beat you down to your knees. If you try to fight it back It will beat you again and again and again. If you can feel a shiver at the edge of your mind, Don't be afraid - you've just got your eyes closed. If you feel something brush against your skin. Don't be afraid - just keep your eyes closed. x2
