Strawberry

The canvas gone dark, and there ain't no messiah Who is reigning above me, it's just been raining lately Electric blew the wire, it was high pitched like the choir Who keeps screaming in my ears, and I've been boxing all these years And dressed up as a pyre, now all around me fire And from this crowded point of view I sit and watch it all alone All these unique snowflakes hit the ground and build their homes Well the storm's stretched coast to coast, and I ain't never fit in with the white coats Because they showed me a picture I thought it was a masterpiece But that rorschach confused me I seen too many things A sweet strawberry A tiger showing teeth If on the ledge with your memories Which one do you think that you'd see? The blood will dry black, but only if you let it Oxidized in hotel lights it's hard to even tell the difference Between what is alive and what's no longer with us Oh how death can live inside, alas, a wrath is never selfish But don't act so depraved, it happens everyday And the holidays are hard for those through years been denied fate And a void is a void, it's something that we'll never change Well these hallways twist and turn but never return us back from whence we have came And when I look at that picture I don't feel one ounce of peace Michelangelo's ceiling An image on repeat Create while you're sleeping These post-traumatic dreams No, I don't hear those angels Over my chattering teeth Sometimes I close my eyes so tight I think I might go blind Dip back into grief, I do it all of the time If heaven houses one and all then hell is right where we are With this disease of despair, I know it wall to wall to wall to wall So I'm painting a picture It's gonna be a masterpiece Of a sweet strawberry And that tiger showing teeth I ain't taming the wild I'm just hitting the harmonies Put my feet back in Davis Where home is babbling
