Silhouette
Jacob Lee Lyrics

I've been known to verbalise each secret I keep Whilst I dream
I tend to speak my secrets out loud while I sleep

I guess sometimes, my sorrow decides to speak up While I sleep
My sadness sometimes surfaces as I dream

I've been known to vocalise each feature of you Through my teeth
I tend to speak about every detail of you, almost like I'm talking to myself

I guess sometimes, I picture my finger still there On your cheek
Sometimes, when thinking of you, I imagine my hand resting on your face

I've not known myself for quite some time now Staring at the mirror with the lights out Screaming words that I should probably whisper Terrified the light above might flicker
I feel like I've lost myself for a while. I stand in front of the mirror in the dark, screaming thoughts that I should keep to myself because I'm afraid of the light flickering and revealing my true self

Open up my silhouette (open up my silhouette) My silhouette
I want to reveal the parts of me that I've kept hidden. I want to show who I truly am

I have tried to quantify the reasons I feel incomplete (incomplete) I guess sometimes, my wisdom, it figures that's what I need
I've attempted to understand why I feel like something is missing. Sometimes, I realize all I need is wisdom

I have tried to sit beside these demons that trip up my feet I guess sometimes It's weakness that strengthens the skin on your knees
I've tried to face my inner demons that prevent me from moving forward. But, at times, it's acknowledging vulnerability that makes you stronger

Try to keep my shadow at a distance Scared of what it′d say if it could listen to you
I push away the parts of myself that I don't like, afraid of acknowledging them and what they might say if they had a voice

I tried (my silhouette) I tried (my silhouette)
I attempted to reveal my true self, but it's not easy

I guess sometimes, my sorrow decides to speak up While I sleep
My sadness can express itself even when I'm not aware, like in my dreams
