Somewhere in these shapes and colors
You and me and all the others
Gaining space and losing perspective
Bed is made and body's mangled
Size is wrong and so's the angle
No one has a clue how to correct it
Cuz who was ever drawn to scale
It would make the strangest portrait
Is it jonah or the whale
Drawn to scale
You can't scare her, you can't school her
Where's your compass, where's your ruler
Giving order to that white canvas
Give me liberty or dust or
Better yet a caricature
Dressed up as some kinda new world atlas
Cuz who was ever drawn to scale
He'd need to come with a warning
M'am this is a full-grown male
Drawn to scale
Who was ever drawn to scale
Who wouldn't always choose the tall tale
Let's catch the light until it catches
Let's stretch the truth until it stretches
Who was ever drawn to scale
Can't you hear my dear distortion
Hell is just the holy grail
Drawn to scale
And who was ever drawn to scale
It would make the strangest portrait
So it was to no avail
Drawn to scale
