Truth With Elegance


Try to hold on to sentiments

Frowning to some extent

To be the waster of it all

Crowded rooms belie elegance

Truth be told evidence

Will turn your cheeks cold


Pretend I’m worth a million trials

With countless tears

And sleepless nights

Do not ignore the feeling

The fluorescence you wash from your hair

So the cruelty could cling to your pillow

Yet the wrongs you do go unimpaired

You should hope that the ground will not swallow


If the future took elements

Wouldn’t you compliment?

And tell me all you know

You’re the victim of circumstance

Bordered intelligence

But you refuse to learn now


Pretend I’m worth a million trials

With countless tears

And sleepless nights

Do not ignore the feeling

The fluorescence you wash from your hair

So the cruelty could cling to your pillow

Yet the wrongs you do go unimpaired

You should hope that the ground will not swallow


Now I lay down

And try to sleep

But it’s difficult

Without a drink

If you were here

It would be easy


The fluorescence you wash from your hair

So the cruelty could cling to your pillow

Yet the wrongs you do go unimpaired

You should hope that the ground will not swallow
