Shades of Fright
August 24th, 2019

Panic
I dropped out
In panic
I stopped now
Before it was too much
Such a fool
To stop just when the blush
Began
Your blush it meant
What I always knew
What you always pretended

Of nights and of demons
It’s our place in all evils
We were royals to the missile
I don’t care, I won’t listen

All shades of fright
Became all hues of courage
All shadows all-night
Stopped to give me knowledge
And I won’t deny the essence
Your lips became your presence
Honey, you belonged
In all my dreams
Honey, you were
You were my malice
Vivid dreamer, vivid cheater
You were of all my dreams and malice

Of nights and of demons
It’s our place in all evils
We were royals to the missile
I don’t care, I won’t listen

Midnight
It was gonna change at
Midnight
You would become mine at
Midnight
It lasts too long to come
Midnight

All shades of fright
Became all hues of courage
All shadows all-night
Stopped to give me knowledge
All shades of fright
Took me on
All hues of courage
Let me down
A purple light shone over your shoulder
Excuse me if I take some months to get over
Now I just want an Uber to my house
The party’s gone boring when I’m dancing without
You, behind the counter, I’m questioning how
Something that feels so real turned out so fake
A lie that was made up of glances and stolen
Time I don’t wanna waste in your name

All shades of fright
Became all hues of courage
All shadows all-night
Stopped to give me knowledge
And I won’t deny you’re gone
You left me, all all alone
All shades of fright
Took me on
All hues of courage
Let me down

The dull robbery of a defenseless compassion
A breakable charity turned into regret
A wild night sight of a poor man’s fashion
A purple heart, all stained in red
