(Bistre) [feat. Traci Kato​-​Kiriyama]

from Kaleidoscope by Monk Turner

lyrics

Bistre

rarely spoken 
barely said

always there in shades of grey
that hang like clouds
like the secret swallow
like the elephant underneath the tongue

a hue
of transition
dissatisfaction
the zenith of questions
before a more predictable 
less interesting end

or simply
it is the stain we'd rather overlook
like the day I left you leaving me

in the color of unfinished business
the tincture of the space in between

it is what we were

might be what we'll always be

bistre
