lyrics

Portrait

you paint a picture of yourself
and you hang it on the wall
for all to see
including me

your bold and clashing color portrait
meant to make the critics frown
I pull it down
put it in my gallery

I’d like to wash your colors down
please
pour them on me
‘til I drown
don’t apologize anymore

invite me in then you turn me out
you paint my canvas shades of doubt
I don’t mind

I could say that this time is only madness
that someday your portrait will fade to grey
I don’t know
for now I’ll say

I’d like to wash your colors down
please
pour them on me
‘til I drown
don’t apologize any more
