Anacrusis

Still Black

Anacrusis


My touch means nothing, it's just a sympathetic mock embrace 
This pity for you leaves nothing but a bitter taste 
Persistent lies, nothing but useless words of waste 
You voice seems harmless through these softened tones of grey 
But grey is still black 

Your face is nothing but a transparent fixture 
Perception is nothing but a distorted picture 
Expectations are taking in the deceptive mixture 
Your substance is nothing but a lightened shade of grey 
But grey is still black 

A carousel of vanity 
Apparently persuading me 
Still all the while evading me 
Accepting all, believing none 
Always pretending we are one 
So meaningless 

Intentions mean nothing, it's only for the one inside 
Regression prevented, carried on the truthless tide 
Cold breath, mistaken, whispers with a senseless pride 
Your front is nothing, nothing but misted cloud of grey 
But grey is still black 

Your face is nothing but a transparent fixture 
Perception is nothing but a distorted picture 
Expectations are taking in the deceptive mixture 
Your substance is nothing but a lightened shade of grey 
But grey is still black 

A carousel of vanity 
Apparently persuading me 
Still all the while evading me 
Accepting all, believing none 
Always pretending we are one 
So meaningless 

Your face is nothing... 
Perception is nothing... 
Expectations are taking... 
Your substance is nothing but a lightened shade of grey 
But grey is still black
