fickle

 
darkness plight will you see me tonight?

conflicted feelings say maybe
I consult the stars and they say yes
oblations given for my shadow
who summons the ferocity of you

I am gentle and say no, don't touch
wisdom understands this

sullen reprisal says damn it
I can't figure you in this equation
listless time is staggering on
in truth I am dying one day at a time
the cards fall and I see the joker

I'm wearing a poker face
you'll never know me, little tenderness

I am scary disturb my darkness and feel wrath
demons will surround you and you'll see God
fickle redemption the long arm might not get you
but he will with his south paw

I know you think you know better but watch
outlaws be warned
I'm little get down
