[Future Islands - The Painter lyrics]
Is pushing in the blue here, I made a willow
Traces of you
Crushing a piano the pieces in the yard
I can see the faces tracing your heart
Fear has made you shallow
Hiding in your tomb
I'm screaming at the dust
"Is this good by you?" calling out in space
Calling out for home
I once called you friend
Greatest fool, I know
Been around the city and out in the country
Been around the world, now
I'm out in the water
I'm waving not drowning
What's lost in the painting?
Somebody y'all know somebody y'all know
Somebody somebody
Sienna yellow fire apple hue
I'm screaming at the dust
"Is this good by you?"
I'm calling out in space on the canvas cold
On the pallet knife only red you know
Been around the world now
And out in the country been to every city
I'm out in the water
I'm waving not drowning
I don't need a savior
I'm waving not drowning
What's lost in the painting?
What's lost in the painting -
In the crimson holes?
What's under the shadows - that
You made your own?
Some can't see it all some can't see at all
Some can't see it all some can't see at all
Some can't see it all some can't see at all
