Brushstrokes

(album: Figure - 2020)

Brushstrokes: the more subtle the detail
The more they take a shape of their own
Well you're a promising painting next to the horrors that are waiting at home
A fresh coat. Two creatures of comfort
And we'd be lying if we thought this would look alright
We can wait. We can trade this all for shabbier nights

Similar brushstrokes: from a distance
This image seems beautiful to you and I
The gruesome truth takes moving closer to be noticed by the naked eye
I'm told it's a fresh coat for two creatures of comfort
And we'd be lying if we thought this would make it right
Perspective waits. It can cover up our lonelier nights

Brushstrokes: we've shown our true colors
Museum quality. A work of art that's on display
A framed idea in shocking detail. local critics would say
You see, I'm talking about a fresh coat for two creatures
Of comfort and we'd be lying if we thought this would look alright
We'll wait. We can brush this off as quieter nights
We can brush this off as quieter nights
We can brush this off as quieter nights
We can brush this off as quieter nights
