Take A Sentence

(album: Hotel Shampoo - 2011)

Colour my senses in crayon
Take me to task when there's reason
To judge me for lustre or treason
I cease to exist in the dark
I turn my face towards the sun

Take a sentence and repeat until
The siren sings

They airbrushed the outcome
And swept it aside
An easy acquaintance would stay by my side
Through trials infected by poisonous minds
In sulphur clouds they sat behind

The struggle to conform
The comfort we seek
Maintaining a semblance of how we perceived
The future that faced us when we all began
Our journey from Mother to woman and man

They'll sweep you up
To skies up high
Erase your memory away

Take a sentence and repeat until
The siren sings
