Ultraviolet Light

Sunshine

Oh, my poor, bare bones

Rubbed raw from words alone

My colours never suited them

Now I'm sun-bleached and two-dimensional

Catch me just right

In that ultraviolet light

It's such a small price

For that inch of respite

And when I've run dry

When I'm parched and tongue-tied

I know that well enough, this well's enough for life

Oh, my shapeless soul

Dug up from a dark, damp hole

All these others never suited me

Now I'm tongue-tied and unconventional

Catch me just right

In that ultraviolet light

It's such a small price

For that inch of respite

And when I've run dry

When I'm parched and tongue-tied

I know that well enough, this well's enough for life
