I want to get you to try being creative on canvas just to take your time to sit down and have nothing in mind when you start just have a good feeling and be in love with life and the world sit down and begin playing and if you feel good about yourself and the world it'll show in your painting and all these little things will happen that's the name of the game, is enjoying you really ought to enjoy what you do in life if you do, then you'll do a good job and I certainly enjoy what I'm doing I spent half my life doing somebody else's thing painting should make you happy if it does nothing else it should make you happy if it doesn't make you happy you're doing the wrong thing because its fun if you can do things all your life that make you happy needless to say you're going to be a happy person when you buy your first tube of paint you get an artisan's license and that license says you can do anything that makes you happy It's a fantastic day its a good day to be a live matter fact, every days a good day to be alive there (heh heh) when we were kids we used to fight like cats and dogs you know how brothers are I never expected that left hand he used to sock me! when we grew up he was bigger than I am i hope doesn't remember all that! hes a good man though, best friend in the whole world. I spent half my life in the military and everyday I had to live in someone else's world all the time painting offered me freedom I'd come home from after all day of playing soldier and I'd paint a picture and I could paint a paint the kind of world that I wanted it was clean, it was sparkling shiny and beautiful, no pollution and nobody upset, everybody was happy in this world that may be how I made it through 20 years of military Because i could find freedom on this canvas

I've been seeing signs There's a lion headed dragon demon breathin' fire down the street blood is draining stars are melting frogs are raining down on me but there is something I don't see a distance between you and me so... it's beautiful It's finally over thank god I wanted to be something not to bleed out in my yard on a Tuesday night I'm not too surprised to find we paid the price we deserve it I smell the houses burnin'

Sometimes, it gets crowded it's like the walls are closing' in Sometimes, I get desperate like the wolves are circlin' I'll make my escape and you're coming with me [Chorus:] I wanna go where there's never snow where its green and bright and there's no one else around where it's dark at night and we never fight and there's no one there to tell us what to do Chained to my desk bleeding out my life I want out let me out I'm through Sometimes it gets crowded, its like the walls are closing in Sometimes, I get desperate like the wolves are circlin' [Chorus]

So everyone's abandoning the will to try they're lost inside the screen their brains have all been broken by the flashing lights there's plastic filling up the sea there's nowhere else to go nothing else to see everything that's ever been has got it's time to leave everyone is empty from root to stem and leaf shutter all the windows the time has come to grieve ~ No, I don't think I see a way for us to make it There's no one at the helm and all our hearts are faceless I'm a shadow cast by nothing where Joshu's oak tree grows I should shave my empty head and put on my monk's robes

Sideways, and bloody on the edge of the interstate I saw him there his paws were mangled - he was full of fear like I am, cuz I'm dyin' too And I'll tell you, there's one thing I'm afraid of that I won't find you here in what comes after All I'll wanna do is search and find you there's no point in heaven all alone I wanna know If he had someone like you did she feel it? at the impact... And, will we, will we feel it too? when one us fades... there's only one thing I'm afraid of That I won't find you here in what comes after All I'll wanna do is search and find you there's no point in heaven all alone

The time is ripe the mountain gives birth we not meant to understand our mother the mind is not the real seat of soul as thunder rumbles deep inside what new things will be born? Hearts and wings are beating black and blocking out the sky like a rain of ashes witness the children born to reclaim what the first born lost we didn't care to save her we didn't do enough the night is young the sky is filled with claws we me are not meant to ever recover do you hear the Black Wings? do you hear the Black Wings?

Oh, the way your body carries the dresses that you wear I can't fuckin' breathe man I think I'm gonna freak out you're shaped just like an hour glass my time is running out ...the thicc ass of an angel I believe in soulmates now. save me. [Chrous:] If i don't make a move right now then I'll never forgive myself (there's fireworks inside my brain my lungs are burning up in flames) I have never felt this way I think that I might fade away (one day we're gonna live in a cabin on the other side of mirror lake one day i know the end will come I'll smile knowing that we lived our way and I'll smile knowing that it's all okay) Oh, I think I'm fallin' and I'll never get up (x24) [Chorus]

There was lightning in the air the night I lost my mother and every time I see my dad she's hanging in the air she said "Son, look for the redbirds, and you'll see my spirit there. These old legs never walked, so in death I'll take the air." And I know that I won't Ever be at rest 'cause while she was alive I never did my best and If she's looking down on all of us today I hope that she knows I'll never let her fade (i'll never let her fade) Maybe, I'll just wait for spring and flowers won't be the only thing that blooms all of this is so much like a dream sometimes I call the old house just to hear you on the machine when no one's looking is your spirit with me?

She said, "it's okay" but I don't really think so I think I'm poisoned and I'm passing away. She said, "it's alright" But I don't really think so There's too many people and they're starting to mutate ~ I wish I could find some place out in the pines and I don't know how to keep safe all my bros I wanna shelter every lost cat in this city And the people that did this, they all have addresses and names I'll keep watchin' in the night I'll keep a lookout, for when the fire strikes

I'm findin' there's no two moon sea-shore where the sand is crystal blue they're after you I'm findin' there's no portal at the bottom of a well to a world brand new they're watchin' you Oh, The Places You Won't Go (x24)
