Darling Shade
THE NEW PORNOGRAPHERS · Whiteout Conditions 2017 · Track 05 of 09
When you add your voice to bad choices Then you're not-so-white becomes mannered It's dripping down our walls like quicksilver Dripping down us slowly as Saturn
And for you the cool surprise Just step in, into traffic Now you view new medicals You broke through, your loving
We have found no use for the prophet Searching for the doubts in our corners With the ignorance of a poet An unbreakable focus of mortars
Darling shade our shadows
Was it singing from the bad choices On a ceiling without a pretext When you give your mind to your voices You accept the terms of your sentence
And for you the cruel surprise The time slowed your walking Now you view new medicals You broke through, it's nothing
Darling shade our shadows
You can get declined when you tell her Thinking you could learn a new language Don't you want to turn a few favors Since you left everybody hanging
Darling shade our shadows
