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 a 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 (I'm not comfortable) 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 --- Deflector - Touché Amoré
