Peeling Off the Wallpaper
i am peeling off the wallpaper
scraping off the paint
my sepia past
always looks a little faint
i am taking down the lights
undoing those older screws
my sepia past
is old fashioned daily news
i am peeling off the wallpaper
taking down those stairs
my sepia past
has had a multitude of shares
i am taking off the board
trying to repair old plaster
but my sepia past
has disappeared my faster
i am starting to redecorate
add a little paint
but my colourful future
needs a tint, not a taint
