Spotlight
from Northcroft by Roger Heathers
lyrics
I'm not afraid of an expectation
I'm just afraid of the fear itself
I feel the tension in fluctuation
This can't be good for my health
Wealth
Self
Stealth
Undercover again
I'm spotlight dodger
And Roger again under hot knife
Running away from a shadow, a ghost on the wall
Do you hear that ball rolling?
Do you feel that fear every hour?
Washing on in like a shore, shore, shore
Sure, real if I feel it swimming in head space
Real if I cast it out?
I'm not afraid of an explanation
I'm just grateful that you're here
Feeding me well with a new sensation
Helping me more with my fear
Late in the evening
Small vibrations shuddering down my spine
Through a guitar and a nice computer
Letting you see my sign
Mind
Fine
Line
Undercover again
I'm spotlight dodger
And Roger again under hot knife
Running away from a shadow, a ghost on the wall
Do you feel that ball rolling?
Do you feel the light every hour?
Washing the fear like a shore, shore, shore
Sure, it's real if I stir the waters and displace
Water as dark as coal
I'm just afraid of the fear itself
I feel the tension in fluctuation
This can't be good for my health
Wealth
Self
Stealth
Undercover again
I'm spotlight dodger
And Roger again under hot knife
Running away from a shadow, a ghost on the wall
Do you hear that ball rolling?
Do you feel that fear every hour?
Washing on in like a shore, shore, shore
Sure, real if I feel it swimming in head space
Real if I cast it out?
I'm not afraid of an explanation
I'm just grateful that you're here
Feeding me well with a new sensation
Helping me more with my fear
Late in the evening
Small vibrations shuddering down my spine
Through a guitar and a nice computer
Letting you see my sign
Mind
Fine
Line
Undercover again
I'm spotlight dodger
And Roger again under hot knife
Running away from a shadow, a ghost on the wall
Do you feel that ball rolling?
Do you feel the light every hour?
Washing the fear like a shore, shore, shore
Sure, it's real if I stir the waters and displace
Water as dark as coal
