Raincheck
By Indi Riverflow | August 23, 2014
Like an out-of-hand poker bluff
Improvising ad-libbed alibis
Losing track of the runaway lies
Little white slips of omission
Piling in a tinderbox awaiting ignition
Making way for stray flames bound
To torch our totems down to the ground
{Chorus}
It may seem an abdication
A way to duck an altercation
I owe a ton of explanations
But it’s too sunny for a spat
So you’ll have to take a raincheck on that
There was a clear intention
For some well-timed mention
When the mere revelation
Won’t trigger Armegeddon
Painted into a corner
Of shady evasive maneuvers
No broad brush is gonna cover
The graffiti left by other lovers
{Chorus}
I know I’m pissing in the potion
Playing with everyone’s emotions
Yeah, I’ve set some things in motion
That are bound to cause a commotion
Three sides to every triangle
But only one end to this tangle
Slice this Gordian cord to ribbons
So we can all get on with being forgiven
