Darker Than You Songtext
von Jette-Ives

Definitely darker than you
And not impressed by the best you can do.
With a smile and a gesture
At once dismissed, and confessed, and disarmed
— By your best.

Sitting in your chair
Like your chest is straining from your spine
Wary of being studied
And inviting the very same
— Like someone who′s practiced hard, and long, to be confusing.


Everybody needs someone to intercede
— It's like gathering daisies in a desert
Kissing the air beside you and pretending I′ve touched down:
Last, not least.

Finding your thoughts
Crumpled in tunnels dark and abstract,
Constructed for thoroughfare.
Like the final thing you do
— Before you don't.
There's something wrong with you,
With the suitcases of you,
Shoved under my bed, awake and clawing at the locks.

I′m —
Definitely darker than you.
And not impressed by the best you can do
With a smile and a gesture
At once dismissed, and confessed, and I admit —


I′m disarmed by your best.
