Colored, I Confess

Well I've
walked many miles that
belong to-the-evening
(and I've)
Breathed a-gaze at skies
'kept more than could be seen
(and I've)
Given voice to-the-cries
of the silent part of each of-us

and I wish those were the-only words
that-I could tell you
Lie within a lie with-en-
-ough truth to-sell you

Colored

I confess

(cause th')
truth might be so bland
that-it would-not compel you
