Graffiti

I wrote this one when I was still alive

Hey You, yeah you, Listen

And if I had a horse

To climb up and ride off to the warmth

I'd never turn around I'd just Kick up this dust

Till I find where I'm found

And If I qualified as a genius

Maybe I'd live out my dreams and die dreamless

These voices in my life are all make believe

Trying to find a way to exploit my choice of pain relief

It doesn't really go very high if it was born to fly

And when they come to divide we got to multiply

You make me want to understand your graffiti

You're trying to make me feel like somebody needs me

I'm examining the clouds like I'm looking for a sign

I hope you're having a - good time

If you wasn't afraid would you lie so much

You got your tail between your legs chasing fire trucks

You can tell I'm not the best at expressing how I felt

That's why I hide it inside the words I spell

I mix the medication, it fixes whatever ails them

And now she treats me like a snake oil salesman

Well thank you for your vote of confidence

I don't give a shit about how it figures into all your politics

Still believe you gotta make your art, play your part

The world waits for you to break my patient heart

Now let me find a road by the airport

To park and watch the planes arrive and think of what I'm here for

And I ain't trying to kill the vibe

But I'm grateful that you're still alive

Now gimme a High-Five!

It doesn't really go very high if it was born to fly

And when they come to divide we got to multiply

You make me want to understand your graffiti

You're trying to make me feel like somebody needs me

And that's what we supposed to do I guess

Spread love till you've used your last breath

No matter what the challenges hold, I was bold

Cause I knew that we could handle the cold

And just in case I don't say this enough

Thanks for the love, I love the way that you love

And I ain't making this up

You put some change in my cup

And then you gave me a hug

It's like you came from above

It doesn't really go very high if it was born to fly

And when they come to divide we got to multiply

You make me want to understand your graffiti

You're trying to make me feel like somebody needs me
