the coarse and white colored skin

it blends with the state you're in

and the wetness of your eyes

against a sun that clouds blind



you ain't saying nothing that i don't already know

when you say love's dimming light won't shine on tomorrow



chalk white apartment walls

surfaces my every flaw

and the naked and still in here

it brings some real life into clear



you ain't doing nothing that i don't already know

when you hide your sorry head in pillows



you fake a strained, sort of grin

that matches the shape you're in

and accept any lies are truth

after the long year that we've been through



you ain't doing nothing that i don't already know

when you say life takes turns like fiery shadows
