the one
i took the image on an old picture
and I placed it on a bowed canvas
and I’m painting in the signs i missed
try to recognize the obvious
it starts to fold up
and the colors bled like rain
they’re pouring over in a puddle at my
feet
it’s the last time today
that I open up that part of me
and what you wanted was your war
and what am I suppose to stay
as the feeling starts to fade
you won’t see the change
the weight is in the air
and I’m holding it in
until I’m crossing over
i won’t be the same
but I’ll rest inside
knowing I’ve become the one I made
i know that clarity won’t bring me back
well i never wanted more than I had
will the memories expose our past
the expression in the photograph
the ocean fuller that it’s spilling
into lakes it’s pulsing forward but
harboring the wake
how much more would it take
before me porous palace washed away
and what you wanted was your war
and what am I suppose to stay
as the feeling starts to fade
you won’t see the change
the weight is in the air
and I’m holding it in
until I’m crossing over
i won’t be the same
but I’ll rest inside
knowing I’ve become the one I made
you scream so load
it’s all mine lost in my head
you sleep well now it’s all right
with somebody else
push me way down and far out
and come back too late
it’s all in my head I want
everything
ooh I’ll always
ooh I’ll always
want everything
