lyrics

**[C]HARM**
All of everything was sharp in the night; alight
A spray of bandied repartee
Each up, one by one – til bands of the Sun
Sliced endurance, expiring them with light.

He’d been emptied yet charged by lighting strikes, like
Tender tendrils tracing and embracing him
He became mindless, forgetting kindness
Under the spotlight & in front of the mic

She puts the ‘harm’ in "charm"
Effortlessly
No – he can’t see.
It’s just how she’s made to be
As simply as she takes his arm,
She puts the ‘harm’ in "charm"

For the worth, the brilliance, the flash of the Jewel
Made brighter with facets deftly cut by that Fool
‘til some beauty-borne blindness misfires a misquote
And she’s talked his heart into cutting his throat.

Here in the stretches of Silence he waits; debates
With his doubts, turns his back to the facts
To swim in her eyes & not drown in her lies
Surrendering all of his logic to fate

She puts the ‘harm’ in "charm"
As if he knew
It was all she could do.
So she soothed him with a coo:
“Dear, there’s no need for alarm”
She puts the ‘harm’ in "charm"
