Black and White |
| Nothing makes my heart so wild as being |
| In possession of a potent night |
| Racing down the stairs in a nude descension |
| Shedding and discarding my hide |
| But the bold strokes crack so quickly |
| And it’s often that I wonder why |
| Dripping at the slow-motion rate of surrender |
| Hanging to my bones as they dry |
| How can I want something more than a new hell in which to fry |
| When I see in mostly black and white? |
| There’s a sinful sort of side of being |
| So contained, a bit like being lost |
| Stumbling through the background like a small town loner |
| Quietly a-whisperin' my thoughts into my cupped hands |
| Folded and monk-like, at least that’s what I’ve always said |
| How does writing letters from the lonely margins feel |
| When there is no hair on my head? |
| Is the solitude I seek a trap where I’ve been blindly led? |
| Tell me, where then do I go instead? |
| When atonement comes in distant waves |
| I might wait until the next to break |
| Choking through forgiveness at a sunfly prompter |
| Staring through the back of my face |
| Its a vulgar, hidden part of being tethered to the world right now; |
| Spending all my dollars to remain a member |
| Nothing in my eyes but a scowl |
| Do I bother to define myself beyond what they allow? |
| Have I already forgotten how? |
