Waste Of Paint Lyrics
I have a friend, he is made mostly of pain. He
wakes up, drives to work, and then straight back
home again. He once cut one of my nightmares out
of paper. I thought it was beautiful, I put it on
a record cover. And I tried to tell him he had a
sense of color and composition so magnificent. And
he said Thank you, please but your flattery is
truly not becoming me. Your eyes are poor. You are
blind. You see, no beauty could have come from me.
I am a waste of breath, of space, of time. I knew
a woman, she was dignified and true. Her love for
her man was one of her many virtues. Until one
day, she found out that he had lied and decided
the rest of her life, from that point on would be
a lie.
But she was grateful for everything that had
happened. And she was anxious for all that would
come next. But then she wept. What did you expect?
In that big, old house with all those cars she
kept. Oh! and such is life, she often said. With
one day leading her to the next, you get a little
closer to your death, which was fine with her. She
never got upset and with all the days she may have
left, she would never clean another mess or fold
his shirts or look her best. She was free to waste
away alone. Last night, my brother he got drunk
and drove. And this cop pulled him off to the side
of the road.
And he said, Officer! Officer! You have got the
wrong man. No, no, I'm a student of medicine, the
son of a banker, you don't understand! The cop
said, No one got hurt, you should be thankful. And
you carelessness, it is something awful. And no, I
can't just let you go. And though your father's
name is known, your decisions are yours alone. You
are nothing but a stepping stone on a path to
debt, to loss, to shame. The last few months I
have been living with this couple. Yeah, you know,
the kind that buy everything in doubles. They fit
together, like a puzzle. I love their love and I
am thankful that someone actually receives the
prize that was promised by all those fairy tales
that drugged us. And they still do me.
I'm sick, lonely, no laurel tree, just green
envy. Will my number come up eventually? Like Love
is some kind of lottery, where you can scratch and
see what is underneath. It's Sorry, just one
cherry, Play Again. Get lucky. So I have been
hanging out down by the train's depot. No, I don't
ride. I just sit and watch the people there. They
remind me of wind up cars in motion. The way they
spin and turn and jockey for positions. And I want
to scream out that it is all nonsense. And that
their lives are one track, and can't they see how
it is all pointless? But then, my knees give under
me. My head feels weak and suddenly it is clear to
see that it is not them but me, who has lost my
self-identity.
As I hide behind these books I read, while
scribbling my poetry, like art could save a wretch
like me, with some ideal ideology that no one can
hope to achieve. And I am never real; it is just a
sketch of me. And everything I have is trite and
cheap and a waste of paint, of tape, of time.
Sometimes I park my car down my the cathedral,
where floodlights point up at the steeples. Choir
practice is filling up with people. I hear the
sound escaping as an echo. Sloping off the ceiling
at an angle. When voices blend they sound like
angels. I hope there is still some room left in
the middle. But when I lift my voice up now to
reach them. The range is too high, way up in
heaven. So I hold my tongue, forget the song, tie
my shoe and start walking off. And try to just
keep moving on, with my broken heart and my absent
God and I have no faith but it is all I want, to
be loved ad believe in my soul.
