I drew the curtains back It shed light on the shadows that had been following me It answered my questions of fidelity   The light spilled in and it rang like a bell I answered to it’s call, it’s resonance beckoning to draw a line I allowed for the divide to separate us It’s path was immediately opened up A large trench ripping through the earth A huge void in the space where we were once connected You threw hatchets of lies to try and get to me Seeking a dangerous approach to get back on the other side On my side Standing my ground and siding with truth, I left you there It was then you took up painting Trying to render the whole picture - biased and ill interpreted Painting me black red dead That’s no portrait at all

the light that ripped open the earth
I drew the curtains back It shed light on the shadows that had been following me It answered my questions of fidelity   The light spilled in and it rang like a bell I answered to it’s call, it’s resonance beckoning to draw a line I allowed for the divide to separate us It’s path was immediately opened up A large trench ripping through the earth A huge void in the space where we were once connected You threw hatchets of lies to try and get to me Seeking a dangerous approach to get back on the other side On my side Standing my ground and siding with truth, I left you there It was then you took up painting Trying to render the whole picture - biased and ill interpreted Painting me black red dead That’s no portrait at all
