Lyrics

Darker

We're just shells
That are dwelled
But our souls blow
Would you knew what you shouldn't said
But for love we leave
Is our legacy
So we'll keep alive
And our memory
Because it doesn't get darker
Unless you expected to
It's just getting harder to contain the truth
It doesn't get darker
Unless you expected to, ye-yeah
It's just getting harder to contain the truth

And they tell us things
And say it's universal love
But they're just lying
It's only getting hard
Without asking
Well I'm made of flesh
You will keep it at the light
Above all raise
You know it doesn't get darker
Unless you expected to
Cuz it's just getting harder to contain the truth
You know it doesn't get darker
Unless you expected to, ye-eah
It's just getting harder to contain the truth
You can't contain the truth
You can't contain the truth
You can't contain the truth
You can't contain the truth

    Shamir - Heterosexuality

    Affirming, thought-provoking and living with a freedom that enriches as much as it informs, it's a remarkable record.
