Paint

(album: Closing Arguments - 2009)

I dealt with your anger, you blamed it on my vanity
Say what you will, this is borderline insanity
Love's your excuse, well I'm right by your side
Don't toy with me, don't make me lose my mind

Your games and ploys, expending all my energy
You had to make a noise [?], embracing all my enemies
If it were up to me, I'd force feed you pride
For all the times you made me lose my mind

So close your eyes, cover your life in coats of paint
When there's a problem you erase the truth
And paint it something beautiful

I dealt with your anger, you blamed it on my vanity
Say what you will, this is borderline insanity
Love's your excuse, well I'm right by your side
Don't toy with me, don't make me lose my mind

So close your eyes, cover your life in coats of paint
When there's a problem you erase the truth
And paint it something beautiful
So close your eyes, cover your life in coats of paint
When there's a problem you erase the truth
And paint it something beautiful

Goddamn, goddamn
You call me again
You're putting these words up in my face
Goddamn, goddamn
You stung me again
Your threats are strength and one slit wrist [?]
Goddamn, goddamn
You call me again
You flaunt your pill
Before it's dead if that's the message
Could you tell it to me baby when we're sober?

So close your eyes, cover your life in coats of paint
When there's a problem you erase the truth
And paint it something beautiful
So close your eyes, cover your life in coats of paint
When there's a problem you erase the truth
And paint it something beautiful
