Pandora

Pandora,
I tried to warn you,
but you’ve got a mind of your own,
and some sunset
when the wolves are howling
you’re going to find you’re alone.

You tried to paint the wind
a little less transparent—
take it for a spin
on your colour wheel,
but when it starts to roll,
there’s no way you can stop it—
and, Pandora, I know how you feel.

Pandora,
it is not much comfort
to tick in an instant of time.
and some visions,
while they must be conquered,
ring in your brain like a chime.

You tried to paint the sky
as black as daylight—
take it for a spin
on your colour wheel,
but when it starts to roll
there’s no way you can stop it—
and, Pandora, I know how you feel.

You tried to paint the sun
as cool as flowing fire
turn it upside down
on your colour wheel,
but when it starts to roll,
there’s no way you can stop it—
and, Pandora, I know how—
Pandora, I know how—
Pandora, I know how you feel.
