pixel woman draped in scarlet strum for the heavens hang my troubles from every silver note hypnotise, my sins lay bare each stroke painted fingers through peroxide hair false alarms ring rusted red she sings my skin pearlescent when doubts conceal the chosen path her sapphire ripples settle melt my adolescence I am new-born swaddled in bitter sweet ballad her song, my future peeled and played by warm-chord haze of long-gone days

Joni
pixel woman draped in scarlet strum for the heavens hang my troubles from every silver note hypnotise, my sins lay bare each stroke painted fingers through peroxide hair false alarms ring rusted red she sings my skin pearlescent when doubts conceal the chosen path her sapphire ripples settle melt my adolescence I am new-born swaddled in bitter sweet ballad her song, my future peeled and played by warm-chord haze of long-gone days
