I'm neither angel nor devil, Who am I? What am I? I am this
I'm not from wind, not from fire, so I'm descended from the earth
It's me and the light of wisdom that dies from the breeze
There's no daylight in my hands, no star on my forehead
It's me and the tight cloak that didn't fit anyone but me
There's no heaven at my doorway, there's no god in my sleeve
I'm not just, I'm not unjust, I'm not evil, nor absolute good
I'm black and white, multicolored, I'm a mix of good and bad
I'm a warm kiss for that lip, it is tonight's trophy
I'm unaware of what waits to ambush me tomorrow
It's me and the tight cloak that didn't fit anyone but me
There's no heaven at my doorway, there's no god in my sleeve
I don't put salt on the wound, it's an eternal burden
I'm not a tired beginning, not a spoiled ending
I'm neither angel nor devil
