Untitled
Indeed, but who decided that?
Oh I see;
Would it make sense to say no?
That's what I meant to say
Indeed, I was thinking to blurt no
(It may have been a question of whether
you were a matter for howling or rejoicing)
I will stay alive
Divest! Lose the rest and conquer South by jest
Stand proud and fresh, unfettered from contrive
How else?
That's what I hinted at: I'll stay alive
That's what I meant- I mean to stay alive
Indeed, like staying alone
Staying indirectly; staying indecisive
How but through deeds
Can we move past the needs
Manifesting via words - millions of words -
(As we are leaving, time leaves us
That's what I'm intimating)
Staying somewhere oh yeah
Just fine oh yeah I'll leave
As soon as I do not have direction
As soon as I know it's a problem.
As soon as I am... awful ... Ah
It is a badly smeared foundation
Barely shabby management
Indeed what I was portraying-
(Feeling your potency and feeding equally
Your proportional perversity for skin)
Staying where oh yeah, oh yeah
As long as it is there, ahhh... huh?
Yes, I heard it's a bad habit
(Shall I miss you at the bull's eye
And **** brick-wall instead?)
Building a dynasty of steps
Toward the inevitable clash of flesh-
Yours and mine
Welcome to the Big Shade
******* out of serenade
.... Colours left to fade
(Well it's a bumpy breeze
Maybe what I meant it to be
Indeed to say I will not let you go-
Well at least
That's what I told you so)
Not such a bad, bad thing
You - healing little by little, your adversities for real
It is not like I'll be brittle and
It won't be such a long time
No way- no need to worry
It will not be such a bad thing:
(I. Then no more I.)
