Due Lyrics by Skittish

The Perfect Shade of Green II

2010

I heard there's a rhythm to all living things
A time signature swinging us through our days
In a 13/8 scheme, I'm unique but often off beat

But down round the belt, so solid so sure, thumping their bibles in a perfect 4/4
Sometimes I wish my convictions
Were stronger in stance
Than a tempo too awkward to dance

I said, “Hey, I've never been in time with the traffic or the tide but I'm due.”

I'm in the back, with a cynical smile
The sounds of the psalms ricocheting off the walls
I said, “How was your talk?”
She said, “It helps mе feel comforted
Connected, and lovеd.”
So I packed up my ugliness and I sank, the beast sank, we sank out the door
Down into the snowy night. Where I made
An angel for her

Now I know of a teacup twirling through space
I know of a monster at the bottom of a lake
I know a ghost who still balks at the
Thought of a treaty
In the bout of doubt versus faith

I said, “Hey, I've never been right a whole day in my life but I'm due.”

Slaying the clouds
Their carcass in flight
Are heavenly spears
Of sunlight

Just down the river, is the one that I love
But freedom is options, and I got none
Cause I met a girl who was soft and was white
I said, “Are you an angel?”
And she stretched out a smile
I smelled her real strong and was numb
For a night and was gone

Her toes curled a grip over the carved stone ledge
She said, “Stop me if you love me.”
And her knees started to bend
I gave a good reach, all I got was a
Thread now she's gone
Cause snow angels melt in the morning

I said, “Hey, I've never loved like they sing of in song but I'm due.”
