The Painted Room

lyrics

I know you’ve been making bets
On what this thing could be
With this painted wall I’ll give
You my guarantee
I’ve been writing poetry
And drawing flightless birds
Artist’s life, bohemian nights,
Economic words

Photograph you in the bedroom
Only skin and light 
Patience in and patience out
We’ll take it night by night
When I reach another guilt,
an illusory pain
You’re the one who draws me back
Back to my own brain

Praise the Romans, hate the Greeks,
You tell me just shut up
Turn my attention to the Son of Man,
You say now that’s enough
Better to stop searching
And just let this thing grow
Everyday I’m learning that
That’s the way to go

Twenty years ahead now
I lie in bed the same
And twenty more years after that
All and none have changed
I’ve been writing poetry
And drawing flightless birds
Artist’s life, bohemian nights,
Economic words

Unchanging never changes,
Unconditional,
Unashamed or unrefined,
I’m understanding all
