Fables

Degenerates & subjugates

Nothing really deteriorates

Living life in magenta & chartreuse

Trying to cover over the bruises

Inflicted by white lies

Negating the ending

For the sake of feeding

The all encompassing

Heartfelt alibis

Recounting storybook fables

Resounding through the Taj Mahal

Told underneath the kitchen table

Heard through the majestic macaw

Throwing stones at the glass ceiling

We call self help, we call healing

Writing secrets in the sand

Hoping one day they'll understand

Regenerate & propagate

We stand at heavens gate

Waiting to be let in

Lets hope our holiness outweighs our sins.
