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 Don't Feel So Good...

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?

Hey lol

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]

Redbirds

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)
