the coarse and white colored skin
it blends with the state you`re in
and the wetness of your eyes
against a sun that clouds blind
you ain`t saying nothing that i don`t already know
when you say love`s dimming light won`t shine on tomorrow
chalk white apartment walls
surfaces my every flaw
and the naked and still in here
it brings some real life into clear
you ain`t doing nothing that i don`t already know
when you hide your sorry head in pillows
you fake a strained, sort of grin
that matches the shape you`re in
and accept any lies are truth
after the long year that we`ve been through
you ain`t doing nothing that i don`t already know
when you say life takes turns like fiery shadows
