Dawn Soft Light

Time’s a tightened tourniquet for bloodless limbs
It’s the aching abstinence of success
Life’s a pale prejudice for workless wings
Just so happens they’re your own
Sister, my camera is lying again
I never hid anything that was worth keeping in
Best friend, how are you and how long’s it been?
You could have said anything, but you couldn’t keep it in
I’m living with the wrongs and rights
I’m swallowing a lump of pride
Time’s a tightened tourniquet for bloodless limbs
It’s the aching abstinence
Sister, my camera is lying again
I never hid anything that was worth keeping in
Best friend, how are you and how long’s it been?
You could have said anything, but you couldn’t keep it in
I’m living with the wrongs and rights
I’m swallowing a lump of pride
My fear is a day gone by
I’m as hopeful as the dawn soft light
Sister, my camera is lying again
I never hid anything that was worth keeping in
