Like a Painting

Sit with yourself You sit and everything else seeps into your skin And now you are blue and grey The colors have grown together in an unnatural way Because you made it to the edge and back again You've seen it fade around you Making you less human or Maybe more so I wouldn't know And now you look so much older The world I think has swallowed you whole And your body might be disintegrating But I remember you like a painting I remember you Like a painting I've spent my life Lightly on the surface Not from lack of dark circumstance but because I was frightened of falling under But you were never We stand together Each presenting our Best performance of what others loved before it all And now you look so much older The world I think has swallowed you whole And your body might be disintegrating But I remember you like a painting I remember you Like a painting Inside out and back again I can see I'm repeating myself What if What if There's nothing left Of what was Of what was Of what was Of what was Of what was And now you look so much older The world I think has swallowed you whole And your body might be disintegrating But I remember you like a painting I remember you Like a painting Like a painting Like a painting
