A Deeper Shade of the Heart

lyrics/music - RDO

All who remember can think of the sound that resonance renders with no one around.

With everything quiet, a stillness is found.

All in an anxious attempt at the dream. Boys in their armor; girls are sweet cream.

Shifting and changing and threading the seam.

Colors are useless to tell us apart. There's always a deeper shade of the heart.

It wraps you in grace and awake at the start.

Here with all the frightened faces left pleading for love. There between the open spaces and the buildings. In the middle of the evidence that nothing is real. A subtle shift.

Summer is warmer than winter's wet cold. Beauty is younger and wisdom is old.

Never surrender the hand that you hold.

Just pick up your anger and put it away. Pay homage the power in the words you don't say.

There's never compassion in looking away.

You swear on the bible and you swear on the grave. You gaze in the mirror at a life you can't save.

All in a moment; a smile and a wave.

My fair february notable shimmer and grin, I often wonder how you ever got in here. Now all the words are unimportant and they never make sense. A subtle shift.
