People stare at me framed, back against the wall
I can't change my look but I am looking at them all, and man their eyes are small
And I turn to face myself and I can hear her say
We denounce godspeed, to whom may plead
Please tell me what do you see
Do you feel the ache, must this retake
Whatever you thought it turns opaque
Admire me, conspire greed
When will they expire me?
Too hard to make, too safe to take
My artist said suicide was a big mistake
Do not clean up the edges, they are already dry
If you tear the canvas, the critics, they will cry
I will stay in maybe one place, taking up so much space
And I turn to face myself and I can hear her say
We denounce godspeed, to whom may plead
Please tell me what do you see
Do you feel the ache, must this retake
Whatever you thought it turns opaque
Admire me, conspire greed
When will they expire me?
Too hard to make, too safe to take
My artist said suicide was a big mistake
Tell me your thoughts on god and draw me a picture of what you saw
It doesn't matter what you do, someone will always say
That you're wrong we have been waiting much too long and
Honesty without regret, probably my best bet
The light reflects off me into your head
Makeup what you will of the colors and shapes instead
And I turn to face myself and I can hear her say
We denounce godspeed, to whom may plead
Please tell me what do you see
Do you feel the ache, must this retake
Whatever you thought it turns opaque
Admire me, conspire greed
When will they expire me?
Too hard to make, too safe to take
My artist said suicide was a big mistake
Say solo, with the door closed, so you can't know that I was there
I'm modern, romantic, nouveau, deco, classism, why not neo?
