lyrics

DIM WHITE


There is this overall civil unrest
And I have put myself under
Citizen's house arrest
What will happen to the rest of us
Who do not contest
But keep hushed
Who are content—
In this onslaught
Of blue versus pink
With no in between—
Wearing yellow

I will feel safer, I think
When it snows
There will be no places to hide
Nothing out of sight
In the dark
The ground will be dim white

I have been doing my best
To not let this get the best of me
But it is hard to feel protected
To think the police are effective
When I carry mace in my pocket
