I Was Built to Please
Ethel Tanager
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I am ruled by the man in the window His thick roots ripe with unease (My sorrowful second's echo) Tongue's wrapped around my shivering spine As black bleeds into white My dissonance his delight Oh I was built to please And in the face of the people Within the bone, yet without Cherry stained lips on the fainting couch Captive in stinging centers, a double glow The sea and his accompanists Droplets behind tinted bows In the pounding theatre Crawling among the blades We are spirals curved in the tanager's cage Until he presses the lightness of bone and we fall For no one For no one For no one at all
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
