Beyond A Silhouette

I'm suffocating for light

These tie dye shirts are grey at night

Play Russian roulette

A muzzle that's bright

Sixth of a chance it's the end of the fight

Sunrise or sunset

Orange, pink or blue

It's not saturated and a ugly hue

Did Icarus Satirize his final view

It was only blue to blue

These days slip away

Why am I afraid these colors arn't true

Each day the last parade

The last charade of bleeding for you

I've made it look pink with white out but my ink is a deep red

It's perfect for correcting the mistakes I make or, so you said

My orange sunlight shall I be your annoyance tonight
