the third party

from isolation by fuschia

lyrics

in my silent being
- sometimes a violent riot of colours
mysterious and bright
sometimes a pretty
calm transparency
of colours like water
shining wonderfully
in moonlight
i isolate myself

because toys from the third party
misconstrue the water colours
everywhere i come
as a dim image
as a faint being
instead of a floating transparency
because reflected in a toy ideology
any non-vicarious being
is a twisted one

their debasement makes me unhappy
they always try re-dying me
in unnatural colours
and they are all dying to see
my picture blur and disappear
in order to shape me as a toy
and join their party

so they shout all kinds of colours at me
all some i’d rather be without
they scar my face
my being is cut
my self is hurt
as the colours are thrown at me

first the ignorant green
so i forget what i used to see
and learn how i should have seen
then a standard grey
so i forget what i used to say
and learn what i really should say
finally a flimsy red
so i forget myself
forget all joy
and learn how to be a toy
how to be like them
so in the end
i always see a common generality
on an unknown figure
in the mirror

but the toys
clap their plastic hands in hilarity
because the colours matches their ideology

i isolate my self
because the toy majority
can’t live with the colours
of my reality
in the name of silence
