jackson pollock - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I swear I felt hope slump out of your room

And I'm halfway convinced that you felt her leave too

And I painted you on my chest

I saw Jackson Pollock instead of a mess and

Leaves change, maybe I should change too

On my way home I stepped on one, I heard it crack, and wished it was you

There's nothing like laying in sheets made of silence

I'll bury my face in you to keep in the violence

Imagine you crying over my dead body

I think I'll stay longer 'cause I know you'll be sorry and

Leaves fall like I fell for you

And leave the trees naked but naked's too good to be true

And I wish I was brave

I would say it to your face

There's a fly in your paint and you're put on display

No, I won't draw attention though everyone can see

I'll just keep you a secret just how you keep me

Till I can't, and I leave

But you wrote me a song

(Wait no, that was me)

I wasted lines fabricating personality

Somebody said that, "you're not what you do"

But when you're doing nothing, you got nobody to lose

And I wish I was brave

I would say it to your face

There's a fly in your paint and you're put on display

No, I won't draw attention though everyone can see

I'll keep you a secret just how you keep me

And I don't think it ever gets better

Just gradually less surprising

And the results are all in from the art critics

So why am I still staring at your painting, analyzing

No, no

And I wish I was brave

I would say it to your face

There's a fly in your paint and you're put on display

No, I won't draw attention though everyone can see

I'll just frame you in my bedroom and I'll keep you just for me

Until I can't

Until I can't, until I can't

Until I can't, and I leave
