lyrics

He painted pictures with the colours of another world…

Spreading itself
outward in all directions.
Enveloping
all the parks and trees
and conversations
is a patience
I can’t buy
with money or time
‘cos this money of mine
is made of trying.

Trying, trying, trying
is giving me a stomach ache.
I clench my teeth when I’m asleep,
and when I’m awake
my mind's distracted
by the chaos of a manic twirl.
I think it’s rising up through me
from some other world

A world I can’t understand and don’t want to.
A place I’ll never see but only imagine.
‘Cause in me is the instruction to define endlessly.
And I’m caught trying to reconcile

where I’ve come from,
with where I’m going.
Things getting quicker,
but in me a slowing.
And in the middle
of the endless outcomes
I’m standing like a captain
of a war submarine.

And the crew don’t understand me
when I say I’m troubled.
And they don't believe me
when I say I’m fine.






But no one really cares,
we’re all prepped for battle,
and everyones in love on
the firing line.

I struggle to remember
that this isn’t real.
I can’t seem to believe that
this is just a joke, or a dance.
Feels more like pulling
something heavy up a hill
while having to maintain
inane conversation.

He painted pictures with the colours of another world,
I wonder if is the same world my songs are from.
It feels like it matters,
It feels like it matters!
What can I prove by that?
What am I trying to prove?

Feels like I’m pulling random objects from another world.
Feels like my soul is bound to something in another world.
Feels like the scale’s being balanced by another world.
Feels like I might have been created by another world.

I paint worlds with colours of my words and sounds.
Feels like I mindlessly created countless other worlds.
Feels like I remedy the sickness of another world.
Feels like the answers being hidden from me in some other world.
