Tarot

[fahye]

Flick the cards over one by one
Maybe I shouldn't be
playing with a tainted deck, but
it makes it so much more relevant
See myself in cryptic flashes
coloured by a child's hand
Searching for a promise of
...what?
You can't name something if
you're not even sure it exists
So I won't say it out loud
even though I'm screaming
for you to understand it
To tell me that it's real after all
Tears gather on makeup that's
been on my face too long
Stereotypical black streaks
of mascara that was
only there to timidly ask for something else
For something to break the spiral
Always
damnably grey streaked with passion/scarlet
One card for yesterday, two for today
but save most of them for tomorrow
Maybe I'm finally breaking through to something
Maybe I was wrong after all
Maybe what I was reaching for was
a cry for something else entirely
Eyes so wide
Innocence in shattered bullets
disguised as strength
Singing without words with a voice
so high you might not catch it
Didn't know you could miss something
before you even had it
but that's what you get when pride dies
Or is killed, maybe, I don't know
Innocence, remember? Like a child
with hand outstretched for...
...for...
The cards are lying to me
I'm running out of time
and the spiral is nothing but grey
Take my hand and
lead me out of this

Can we music minded people come up with a tune to it? Coz that would be really fun. And when it becomes a smash hit we will run through the streets praising you.
