Lyrics Shiver - Monica Dogra

I left my mind listless
When i censor is when sense begins to slip
And we speak too directly sometimes
The grace of metaphor can soften it
But
Ok
Yeah
Fine
I can don the hat of street kids in 1999
We are the generation of love forgotten
Sewn into fashion
Letters replaced by emails and now
We love the instant message
So little by little
We've lowered our expectations
But underneath my cut-off jeans
And beneath my viscose sleeves
Are the ideals of pilgrims
The breath of ancients
The passion of Pleiades
The sisterhood of the alone-ones
The ones
Who know what it means
To create the loneliness that you dream to be free of
Because it offers you control
The ones
Who speak with smiles on their faces
About locking their hearts into metal boxes
With chains and padlocks
And barbed-wire around
For good measure
"Just in case"
She says with a wink and tumbling hair
A puff of a joint
That hurts her throat to smoke
But the idea of calming a mind that feels too much
A heart that bleeds too much
A ribcage that knows how to expand wide enough to encompass your
Steady – calm – always practical heart
That idea
Is a good one
"I want our conversations to be endless"
Is why she kneels and prays daily
In the hope that continual will be your discovery
Of all her little things

People need to be held while they are shivering

Don't need words to describe how it feels when you walk away
Could it be that the dark of the night has put fear in your gate?

Still there is your light shining...
Still I am right here falling for you...

Got a map where I've marked where I think it could go from here...
Though my shoes have got holes like my soul...
And all I hold dear...

And there's still a chance of healing...
And I see the cracks binding...

I will never learn not to love you...
I could never grow or move passed you...

I will never learn...
