2
[Verse 1]
3
Used to draw
4
Hard to admit that I "used" to draw
5
Portraiture in a human form
6
Doodle of a two-headed unicorn, it was soothing
7
Moving his arm in a fusion of man made tools
8
And a muse from beyond
9
Even if it went beautifully wrong
10
It was tangible truth for a youth who refused to belong
11
No-name nuisance
12
Stools in a bedroom
13
Oozed in a brand new cuneiform
14
Barely commune with the horde
15
Got a whole grey scale ungluing his world
16
Might zone out to the yap of the magpie
17
Unseen hand dragging his graphite
18
Cross-contour, little bit of back light
19
Black ink after a Bristol to baptize
20
You can't imagine a rush that ensue
21
When you get three dimensions stuffed into two
22
Then it's off to a school where it's all that you do
23
Being trained and observed by a capable few
24
Back in New York, five peeps and a dog
25
In a two bedroom doing menial jobs
26
Plus, rhyming and stealing and being a clod
27
Distractions free to maraud
28
I left some years a deer in the light
29
I left some will to spirit away
30
I let my fears materialize
31
I let my skills deteriorate
32
Haunted by the thought of what I should have been continuing
33
A mission that was rooted in a twenty year affinity and rickety condition with an ID crisis
34
Nap on the front lawn, look up in the sky, it's...
35
[Hook]
36
Shapes falling out of the fringe
37
All heart, though we would've made cowardly kings
38
They will chop you down just to count your rings
39
Just to count your rings, just to count your rings
40
And there were
41
Colors pouring out of the fringe
42
All heart, though we would've made cowardly kings
43
They will chop you down just to count your rings
44
Just to count your rings, just to count your rings
45
[Verse 2]
46
Used to paint
47
Hard to admit that I "used" to paint
48
Natural light on a human face
49
Stenciled fire on his roommate's bass
50
It was blooming addiction
51
A miss and a push and a pigment
52
Book like a tattooed pigskin, look
53
Pinhead kids intermittent
54
Drank Kool-Aid from a tube of acrylic
55
And I grew up in a linseed oil over linen
56
Joy to the poison, voice in the resin
57
Capture a map of the gesture
58
Back up, add a little accurate fat to the figure
59
Redo that, move that inwards
60
Zinc-white lightning shoots from his fingers
61
Studios drone with allusions of tinctures
62
Stay tuned for the spooky adventures
63
You can imagine the stars that align
64
When a forearm starts foreshortening right
65
Or a torso hung on a warping spine
66
Of proportion reads as warm and alive
67
Routine day with a dirt cheap brush
68
Then a week goes by and it goes untouched
69
Then two, then three, then a month
70
Then the rest of your life, you beat yourself up
71
I left some seasons eager to fall
72
I left some work to bury alive
73
I let my means of being dissolve
74
I let my person curl up and die
75
Eating up his innards in unfeasible anxiety is brutally committed to relinquishing his privacy aligning with the trials of the anti-Midas
76
Nap on the back lawn, look up in the sky, it's...
77
[Hook]
78
Shapes falling out of the fringe
79
All heart, though we would've made cowardly kings
80
They will chop you down just to count your rings
81
Just to count your rings, just to count your rings
82
And there were
83
Colors pouring out of the fringe
84
All heart, though we would've made cowardly kings
85
They will chop you down just to count your rings
86
Just to count your rings, just to count your rings
87
[Outro]
88
I'm getting sick and tired of never understanding
89
Where is the truth you promised?!
