Wolfgressive - White Shoes Lyrics

Kissed by the morning sun
She can't be late
White dress, silk buttons
Her veil awaits

By her bed
Is her favorite part
Those white shoes
From Grandmother's heart

Down southside hills
She's not the only one
Littered alleyways
To the favorite Son

A drama there
She must attend
One she does not comprehend

A fortress suspended
Between heaven and earth
Faceless statutes
Guard forgotten tales

Secluded rows
Of tiny faces
Heads bowed, hands folded
In holy places

She's gone now
Gone away
She doesn't live here anymore

She's gone now
Far away
And she doesn't wear her
White shoes anymore

Black and white soldiers
In tunic and cape
Starched bonnets
Pinched faces

Pale lips
Concealing bitter smiles
Tenderness lost
In lonely exile

With measured answers
From small faces
Decreed through repetition
In other places

Changed in ways now
She does not comprehend
Becomes a chosen one
She's invited in

What she sees now
Was not expected
The seduction is now affected

She's gone now
Gone away
She doesn't live here anymore

She's gone now
Far away
And she doesn't wear her
White shoes anymore

She doesn't wear her white shoes
Anymore
