Ballad Pallor

Simultaneous depth reaches romantic heights
How's your face? 
Scrunches imply hunches
Unverifiability defies marquee performers
Reformed by guideposts

Call it a musical mentorship
Sails up
Directional drums 
Row, boat people

Your shore touches the same feet
Across an unbreachable gap
As the Pacific doesn't take kindly
To being swum

It's why it's sung
Softer than a tidal wave
Bleaker than sunrise
Built on disappointed foundations
Heard and not seen
