Wear all the pretty candy colours Transparent eyes behind Swinging Rainbow braids I try to wear life Death is eating me alive There is no hiding The storm always Waiting in the wings Underneath which I thought I was safe I was after all the eagle's child Marked in blue ink on his shoulder Leaning on walls thousands have leaned on How many tears have these mirrors seen? Flick those stormy eyes upward The brown watered down Like a second coffee from the same grounds.. Do they see how dark the world has become? Planting one foot in front of the other Grey sneakers through rainbow braids I hold onto the sound, its sanity.. Everything else feels Like im being held underwater
