^GNothing mak^Ees my heart so wild as being ^GIn posse^Ession of a potent nigh^Gt, ^ERacing down the stairs in a nude desc^Gension ^EShedding and discarding my hide ^GBut the b^Aold strokes crack so quickly a^Cnd it?s ^AOften that I wonder w^Ghy ^EDripping at the slow motion rate of surr^Gender ^EHanging to my bones as they dry ^GHow could ^DI want something more than a new he^All in which to fry ^GWhen I ^Esee in only black and white^G

^GThere?s a s^Einful sort of side of being ^Gso contain^Eed, A bit like being lost^G. ^EStumbling through the background like a small town lone^Gr ^Equietly a whispering my thoughts in^Gto ^Amy cupped hands, folded and monk-^Clike, ^Aat least thats what i?ve always sa^Gid. ^EHow does writing letters from the lonely margin^Gs ^Efeel when there is no hair on my head? ^GIs the s^Dolitude I seek a trap wh^Aere i?ve been blindly led?
