Can’t catch this hue of you
I’m a scathing black in the midnight blues
An overcast sky, blanketing blister-paced eyes
Hangs right above my neck
I’ve brewed restless ache
It settles deep in the space
Between my lusts and restraints
Scared to death either way
I’ve let the blood in my skin
Sink into bones and teeth
Crimson flush under limbs
Stiffer than death
I’m all I lack

Scared to death either way
I’ve let the blood in my skin
Sink into bones and teeth
Crimson flush under limbs
Stiffer than death

How our fears get in the way of our wants.
It doesn't matter what you do, you will be judged by others, so you might as well do what you love.
Carry your convictions proud.
