I fought and bled to feel the golden light
The light that labeled us and chose who was more loved
I destroyed bonds to feel the light
I hoped the light would wash the black off of my wool
But it never did.
It weighed on my back like I was holding the world on my tired and cracking shoulders
The Golden light infected my body like tar on my soul
Except
it wasn't my soul but the way
i was perceived in the eyes of others
For the golden light did not shine and wash away the black on my wool
It burned
It seared the black to my skin like melting plastic
Binding me forever with my black wool
Never to be white again
it wasn't my soul but the way
i was perceived in the eyes of others
For the golden light did not shine and wash away the black on my wool
It burned
It seared the black to my skin like melting plastic
Binding me forever with my black wool
Never to be white again
