Darling ShadeWhen you add your voice to bad choicesThen you're not-so-white becomes mannered It's dripping down our walls like quicksilver Dripping down us slowly as Saturn And for you the cool surprise Just step in, into traffic Now you view new medicals You broke through, your loving We have found no use for the prophet Searching for the doubts in our corners With the ignorance of a poet An unbreakable focus of mortars Darling shade our shadows Was it singing from the bad choices On a ceiling without a pretext When you give your mind to your voices You accept the terms of your sentence And for you the cruel surprise The time slowed your walking Now you view new medicals You broke through, it's nothing Darling shade our shadows You can get declined when you tell her Thinking you could learn a new language Don't you want to turn a few favors Since you left everybody hanging Darling shade our shadows |
