No! You just don’t understand I am not a traitor That is not my intention I don’t regard myself as being a colour hater My intentions are good I only desire to stand out Not to blend in.
No! You just don’t understand They don’t want a filthy raven But a holy dove Don’t tell me I’m foolish For hungering after a look of a few There are thousands of black masses But only a few of you
