DID YOU STOP TAKING PILLS LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD
DO YOU THINK THE WORLD LIKE A PAINTER
WHEN YOU CROSS THE LINE DO YOU YELL OR FALL
REALIZING YOU CAN'T TURN BACKWARDS
TURN BACKWARDS

IN YOUR CASE SOME BRUSHES YOU DIDN'T BRING
ENOUGH GREY TO PAINT SUCH PALOR
SHARP FOCUS ON TOWERS IN THE BACKGROUND
SEND A KISS THERE FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS
YOUR DAUGHTERS

WILL YOU DRAW THE BEACHES
LOVERS ON THE SAND
WITH THE STRANGEST COLOURS
WOULD THE WORLD FEEL REAL

HUMANS BIDE THEIR TIME IN THE CORRIDOR
THEY ALL SEEM TO GRIN AND BEAR IT
BUT TO SET A SMILE ON THEIR FACES
YOU WOULD RATHER USE OIL THAN WATER
THAN WATER

DID YOU STOP TAKING PILLS LIKE YOU SAID YOU WOULD
DO YOU THINK THE WORLD LIKE A PAINTER
WHEN YOU CROSS THE LINE DO YOU YELL OR FALL
REALIZING YOU CAN'T TURN BACKWARDS
TURN BACKWARDS

IN YOUR CASE SOME BRUSHES YOU DIDN'T BRING
ENOUGH GREY TO PAINT SUCH PALOR
SHARP FOCUS ON TOWERS IN THE BACKGROUND
SEND A KISS THERE FOR YOUR DAUGHTERS
YOUR DAUGHTERS

YOU DREW THE BEACHES
LOVERS ON THE SAND
SUCH A HAPPY ENDING
WHERE THE WORLD FEELS REAL
