life is strange
and life is wonderful
and it doesn’t go
any way you thought it would
slow the rules go
stopping to say hello
then bustle and bump
and rush to pass by
because black is white
and the sun can turn blue
the oceans turn lemon
as i swim deep with you
for if the sky should fall
come crashing to earth
dust clouds cough, settle, and linger
but it’s food for the singer
riddles, like middles,
are ticklish to touch
so chose your words wisely
preferring to blush
answers come like a
summer shower thunder
when you feel it in your veins
a poet a prophet a sinner a saint
all sit playing cards inside the pearly gate
because black is white
and the sun can turn blue
the oceans turn lemon
as i swim deep with you
