Leo Kalyan - city of djinns Lyrics

Lyrics city of djinns - Leo Kalyan



I alternate between pale-skinned and burnished gold
In the summer I step over the sun′s
Threshold and melt into this copper-coloured skin
If I believed in reincarnation there would be a
Hundred different souls stuffed like silk inside me
If you slit me open I would spill these
Colourful contradicting identities like an oil slick
This difference dyeing the street all my shapeshifting tints
My blood would leave a stain shimmering the colour of Fire Opal
A chemical curiosity
Turn me over in your hand
Watch me catch the light a thousand different ways
Each facet of me blinding
I'm iridescent
Brilliant
I′m like Argus with a thousand eyes
I'm like Proteus with a thousand forms
I'm like a djinn with a thousand stories
I′m abundant
Bounteous
I carry in me vermillion, indigo and saffron
My bones are made of precious stones
This difference
My difference
Is worth it′s weight in gold
