Shades of Me — allredintune

Shades of Me Bands of black and purple Up and down me Hide my pain and tears Red and black and silver All around my face Defy my rage and fears Don’t define me Don’t confine me Don’t get too close to me Don’t diagnose me ‘Cause I… I fly… And I… Won’t just lay my head back down and die Black and gray and shadow All around me Make my world seem small Black and gray in layers Keep me sheltered So I will not fall Don’t reduce me Don’t deduce me Don’t you dare expose me Don’t get too close to me! ‘Cause I… I fly… And I… Won’t just lay my head back down and die Hide the lines Bide my time Read the signs Of my design! ‘Cause I… I fly… And I… Won’t just lay my head back down and die And I… Won’t just lay my head back down and die
