John Frusciante - Shadows Collide With People

Ricky

(intro)

I was afraid to be me
Be anyone you want to be
Be anyone you want to be
I don’t blame my week
For my not being able to speak
Clearly about things I’ve said before

And if it’s light outside night will fall
Night will fall
And if it’s life it resolves
It resolves

Everywhere you are in a maze is a lie (uh la la la uh la la la uh la la la uh la la la)
Anywhere you are on a page you still go to the right (uh la la la uh la la la uh la la la uh la la la)
Anytime there’s no ground below you you’re in the sky (uh la la la uh la la la uh la la la uh la la la)
Anytime you’re afraid it’s gonna be alright (uh la la la uh la la la uh la la la uh la la la)
It’s gonna be alright

I was a flame in the night
I heard what I wanted to hear
And the moment I disappeared
I grew the size of all outside
Cuz I
I became one with the night
And if it’s real it’s not all
It’s not all there is
There’s a lot in what appears not to be there at all
And you can function as someone besides who you are (uuh ah)
And you can function as someone besides who you are (uuh ah)
And you can function as someone besides who you are (uuh ah)
And you can function as someone besides who you are (uuh ah)
