Touche Amore Deflector
I'm a colorless banner
Flown at half mast
I'm a vessel for
Last contact
I'm a secondhand piano
Incapable of tune
Providing the score
For "gone too soon"
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
That's too personal
I'm too delicate
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
I'm not comfortable
I rarely am
Been a sideline voyeur
A conscientious deflector
Been an underpin for
Something better
Been faulty poet
A personal arsonist
And a last responder
To my own self interest
Cold-shouldered by design
Sleeping in on borrowed time
Lets sing, just one more
I'm a trapeze act missing contact
A long way down to the floor
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
That's too personal
I'm too delicate
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
I'm not comfortable
I rarely am
Been a broken record
A conscientious deflector
Been a sounding board for
An absent savior
Been a faulty poet
An ambivalent nihilist
A last responder
To my own self interest
I won't dive right in
I'm too delicate
I won't dive right in
I'm too delicate
I'll test the water
I won't dive right in
I'm not comfortable
I rarely am
