soft tone

i just gave it to you
in case of emergency
left alone in the quiet
maybe just to chime in
for everyone else to see

as the sun starts rising
maybe the dawns been lying
for years to test me
let it be a reminder
for me to stop this dependency

better speak up to me
go through all the motions
categorize my colours
from dark blues to off greens
hide the spectrum i can’t see

well if you gave me a ring now
don’t know if i’d answer
or even consider saying hello

but you know i’d just let it go

straight to the machine
