Drop Cloth
Scars are beautiful
Your scars are beautiful
She says
Every mark means something
Each one tells a story
Each one is a clue
And this one's where I painted horses
No one could see but me
And this one's where I placed my hand
Leanin' to reach for more color
And this one's where I framed the dance
In pink and black and white
And this one's where I traced the wheel
In tears turned to clouds
And this one's where the darkness grew and grew
And this one's where I laid a mask covered
In everything I could feel
And this one's where I thought I'd
Try something new
And this one's where I passed out
Thinkin' of you
Skin stained magenta
Stuck to the gesso
And dreamin’ of you
Every drop, smear, spill, and splatter,
Every fiber stingin’ with color
And space, like I sing, with memory
And trace everything
I’ve been through
And this one's where I passed out
Dreamin’ of you
Skin stained magenta
Stuck to the gesso
And dreamin’ of you
Every drop, smear, spill, and splatter,
Every fiber stingin’ with color
And space, like I sing, with memory
And trace everything
I’ve been through
Skin stained magenta
Stuck to the gesso
And dreamin’ of you
Fast asleep
Stuck to the gesso
And dreamin’ of you

There’s little stars,
stars everywhere,
tiny pointed shrines
everywhere
Just look around
dazzled; radiant
Just look around
feel what you see
Just look around
feel what you see
Just look around
It’s a different story
this time around, or
at least something more
than another take, another
story this time around
another, it’s all I can take
Just look around
be what you see
Just look around
be what you see
Just look around
I could lick the walls
just like you, I could
chew the scenery, chew
the scenery, I could
serve the ceiling
hor’s d’oeuvre, I could
swallow the doorman,
I could swallow the door
He should have should said
It’s full of stairs
He should have should said
My God! It’s full of stairs
He should have should said
My God is full of stairs
My God
is full of stairs.
That we see. And
we can see now.
Now we can see.
There’s Nothing
we can see.
Now we can see.
Now we can see.
Just look around
we’re what we see
Just look around
we’re what we see
Just look around
He should have should said
My God is full of stairs
My God is full of stairs
He should have should said
My God is full of stairs
My God is full of stairs
So there’s little stars,
stars everywhere,
tiny pointed shrines
everywhere
{whispered}
He should have should said
My God is full of stairs
My God is full of stairs
He should have should said
My God is full of stairs
My God is full of stairs

It’s what you’re made of
It’s what you mean
It’s what you’ve made up
That’s draggin’ you
through this hell
It’s what you’ve made up
It’s what you need
It’s what you’re made of
That’s markin’ out
where you fell
Takin’ all those spills
Lickin’ at your wounds
Dreamin’ ‘bout vacation
Ohhh la la lala lala la la lala
lala la la lala lala la la lala
It’s what you’re made of
It’s what you need
It’s what you’ve made up
That’s pickin’ out
whatcha see
It’s what you’ve made up
It’s what you mean
It’s what you’re made of
That’s drivin’ you
through to me
Lickin’ at our wounds
Takin’ all those spills
Screamin’ ‘bout vacation
Ohhh la la lala lala la la lala
lala la la lala
Oh, takin’ all our spills
Lickin’ at our wounds
Dreamin’ ‘bout vacation
Ohhh la la lala lala la la lala
lala la la lala lala la la lala
