We tied these ties with strands of |
|
Purest white and blue. We gave our |
|
Days of brightest flashing light |
|
And youth. We hide our lives to |
|
Keep their eyes from knowing |
|
Truth. Am I losing touch with the |
|
Hands that have always held me up? A change in shape to fit the |
|
Situation, the same last name, but |
|
There is no relation. (All the |
|
Moves our bodies make can't take |
|
Away the words we used to say and |
|
Make this up to you. All the moves that were mistakes won't |
|
Recompense the love we try to take |
|
Without paying our dues.) I |
|
Remember things you said, I never |
|
Knew what you meant. I turned my face away and let you separate the |
|
Blame. Between the nights and days |
|
These thoughts are keeping me |
|
Awake. I've noticed lately I can't |
|
See clear and I speak too plainly. Does it take the taste away? Your |
|
Life's succession should not be |
|
Based on your possessions or the |
|
Amount of the money that you've |
|
Made. I have got so much to say |
|
But I can't seem to find a way to |
|
Make my face display what it has always meant to say. Between the |
|
Nights and days these thoughts are |
|
Keeping me awake. All my dreams |
|
Aren't what they seem. |
