Self-Portrait In Three Colors

Here is something that you brushed aside
My eyes are dark
What if they were blue and certain
When I found myself fixed in amber
Captured in this loveless smile
So tell me this, did I stay away too long
But you never believed and neither did I

Here is someone you might recognize from the past
He was happy flirting with danger
Thrilling in that red velvet chamber
Love was just this reckless bruise of amethyst
Did I stay away too long
Was the spirit in power ruling my mind

Here's a moment that's stolen from time too sublime
I thought you knew I would be constant
As the stars hung up in that fragment
Breaking through this violent sky
So tell me why did I stay away too long
See the signature at the edge of the frame

Here's a moment that's stolen from time too sublime
I thought you knew I would be constant
As the stars hung up in that fragment
Breaking through this violent sky
So tell me why did I stay away too long
See the signature at the edge of the frame

And if you see who I am
Then perhaps you might shatter this sham
