Rainbow
Told to me as it was to you
The everlasting can't be blue
This trail dirt and hollow stones
kicks up dust of unkempt bones
The redness in your eyes, it gleams
A colourful world or so it seems
Maybe we're all just black an white
Purple on the inside, another night
this envy drives us up the wall
painted green but still stand tall
the sun is bright, as night is day
shining the most when it's time to pay
brightest wit its image mirrored
yellow heaven is what i've feared
these walls are bland while we are here
i'll tell you if it ends in cheer
these colours that paint us
these moods that taint us
the beige tha sits upon my ledge
boring down and off the edge
so ends the rainbow mascarade
no more will we try to tint the shades
