lyrics

You buy your trim in gold
To make it easier to see
The work that makes you cringe
The worth you will away
The words you never thought you’d speak
Again

A palette just for you
Shade in reds and blues
You separate the shapes
To redefine the phrase

Still life, hands tied
Begging you to paint outside the lines
Still life divides
Colors from who’s inside

Brushstrokes broad and far apart
Colors dance across the wheel
Reflecting all of your ideals

Was it fortune, was it fate?
Was it opportune to have a name?
Was it God that made you this way?
Would they have done it the same?
(Look for answers outside the frame)

Would you have done it all the same?
