SHADES

Crown

Words - Nina Storey
Music - Nina Storey

If I promise to be honest, will you promise to make me feel? If I write these words on paper will they promise to be real? It's the same old situation with a different sounding name. And though the circumstances differ, you know everything's the same. Does a smile possibly hold as much as a fist in my right hand? Can I really believe that hope comes in the shape of a gold band?

All the words I say are empty, all the words I say are true. Still I wait on you with temperance hoping to hear the words from you... So please set me down and let me down and get me down. And please remove my crown remove my gown remove the ground that I stand on. To carry on and carry on and carry on. So I can move along move along move...

Would I to drawn in your intentions in this pool of stale pain? Would it wash away the question that keeps stabbing at my brain? Is it the color of your beauty or the focus in your eye? Would you swallow me like poison if I vowed that you were mine? Can I tolerate the difference? Can I tolerate the shame, when the irony of sameness now is sadly what's to blame... And even though I see the path before me waver in my thoughts, no sympathy is given for decision that are naught. And all the chocolate covered answers proudly on display, well they leave me feeling sweetened in an artificial way...Things that seem too good to be true, they usually do, usually do...
