I am not a politician
But if I had to write a manifesto
I would let you know
I may not be a mathematician
But I know when odds look evenly arranged
That's never the case

We are so good at painting
By numbers over the pain
We never understand
And call it a plan

I may not be a magician
But if I had a moment to entertain
I'd put all tricks away
For I'd only need one illusion
Pull back the curtain & try to explain
It's never too late

We are so good at painting
By numbers over the pain
We never understand
Oh, we are so good at only
Finding the flaws in everything
Cut the stem just to watch it grow again
And call it the end

So here I am as a musician
And if I had to leave just one song behind
I would speak my mind
Cause after all I'm only human
All I can give is what I might inspire
Leaving this world a little higher

We are so good at painting
The heights of our imagination
We still try to understand
Oh, we are so good at finding
A love that's worth us fighting for
And making it our manifesto
