lyrics

I hear you ask with every death accrued
Who's still afraid of Red Yellow & Blue?
Nigh on heel-turn
Violently
Cry Subaltern
Vehemently

An Artifice
All empty static
An outline to abrase
I would stand
Had I not objected to
All Assertion
Silently
Seek To Burden
Stray too far
Rendering the act subdued

I only meant it in relation to
The underpinnings of an act I’ll soon regret
For all the trappings of an Item Girl
I’m in no rush to reappraise it yet

A vapid tryst
Deemed Emblematic
An ethos to evade
Understand
This is not a platitude
Veiled coercion
A reprieve
Defamation
Veer from what could remedy an attitude

I only meant it in relation to
The underpinnings of an act I’ll soon regret
For all the trappings of an Item Girl
I’m in no rush to reappraise it yet

I hear you ask with every death accrued
Who's still afraid of Red Yellow & Blue?
Nigh on heel-turn
Violently
Cry Subaltern
Vehemently
