Shade Lyrics by Plainspoke

OK

2017

Hook
Caught in the shade, I can't say if I’m okay
I can't trust in others fates, I shouldn't say what I believe
But I will sharpen my blade, don’t blame anybody but me
If we're still darkening the day, I got a lot of light to leave

Verse 1
Better waste my time making music
Better these lies than playing the muses
Remember these lines, every one I choose it
However they lie, still hope the shoe fits

Know the size, know the sides of the movements
Realize I'm gonna die by the clueless
Peddling pride that'll coat the foolish
Trusting the size of the coop that flew it

Flow fluid like a fly's open door to pursuing
Been assuming I'm not right as if I am still redoing
The truth is I'm outside of the vibes of improvement
So butter both sides of the bread that proves this

Shuttering eyes, realize I'm brooding
Must’ve been nice because everybody’s shooting
Dead by design, I bet everything's fine
As long as you moving you still proofing the mind

Hook
Caught in the shade, I can’t say if I'm okay
I can't trust in others fates, I shouldn't say what I believe
But I will sharpen my blade, don’t blame anybody but me
If we're still darkening the day, I got a lot of light to leave

Verse 2
True to form I form my opinions by
Multiplying what I divide by the finish
Start every line on the vine I listened
Better line those up to shoot them pigeons

On the roof, get high, so if I lose my fitness
Fly by the lights of the loose and livid
Try for the fight, but I fly by the night
Every time I die it's the color I'm given

Patience if they say how high
Never jump when they pay by the pump of the vision
And if they go thump in the night
Got a trump card typed up just so they see how I flip it

Gotta flip my decision, never right
Still justified by what I write, on the nonce of the minute
Till I get it just right, better lost than forgiven
When I'm looking in the lights of the minnows that I'm fishing for the darkest of knights
