the poet's mirror- songbook

black / blue

the character that i am about to portray is a real person, bone and flesh, mind and matter. he lives on outside of my life now, but inside it just enough to make me unsteady. don't be fooled, he is not a one-time character. my life for four months was caught up in his web of manipulation and false apologies, and i will be writing about it for much longer.

---------------------

Verse 1:

I can't escape it

He's everywhere i see

Step on the wrong tile, trip on the wrong wire

Indecision is tragedy

And i still feel it

Syrup air i breathe

Caught up in my throat like a vile lie

How far can you throw me this final time?

Chorus:

So use that strength

To throw me a rope

So I can make some sense

Why I'm losing hope

I can stow away

What you left behind

But im chasing fiction

Wasting time

Verse 2:

I can't pretend it

It's the sky above my grief

It's not Wonderland, you're not Superman

I'm not Wendy

And this ain't Neverland

Chorus:

So use that strength

To throw me a rope

So I can make some sense

Why I'm losing hope

I can stow away

What you left behind

But im chasing fiction

Wasting time

So tell the truth

You've hid inside

Help me make some sense

Why you never tried

We can burn the bridge

That we built on lies

But I'm black and blue

I'm borderline

Bridge:

You can tell me the truth,

You can add an extra petal,

You can shun and seduce,

Prove something you could never

Do to my face.

But you never look me in my face.

Chorus/Outro:

So we'll pack our bags, leaving

Me behind,

Your words of fire never

Satisfied,

And I'll travel through the passage

Back to you

But its

Black and blue
