lyrics

What is this that I am seeing
Could this vision be?
Never have I witnessed beauty
As lovely as thee.
We must leave this place at once
Turn off your ringer please.

I must face you and erase you- Please forgive me - I must Paint you

Take anything you can grab
Shut up and get in the cab
You work the pedals I’ll be the steerer.
The lights and faces will fade
We’ll leave this masquerade
And stand naked before a mirror.

I have no safety words.
I find the concept absurd,
The idea that a word could save me.
Except for possibly love
Given from a god above
With his son so no one could play me.

I must take you and remake you- Please forgive me- I must paint you

The blind leading the blind
We’ll leave this city behind
And in the darkness we’ll find each other
Take a drink smash the glass
And if this breathe is our last
Let’s use it praising the holy mother

I love the sadness you hide
Behind the smile in your eyes
You take my money but not my pity
When our time here is through we’ll find that beauty is truth
That does not mean that the truth is pretty.

I must date you and create you- Please forgive me- I must paint you

The light around your head like a halo, how it glows.
There are no words to describe what’s inside where you hide, but you know.
There is nobody who sees what you show just to me, your beauty
I need to keep it some place where it’s safe from the time
Make it mine
