Brushstrokes - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Brushstrokes, the more subtle the detail

The more they take a shape of their own

Well you're a promising painting

Next to the horrors that are waiting at home

A fresh coat, two creatures of comfort

And we'd be lying if we thought this would look alright

We can wait, we can trade this all for shabbier nights

Similar brushstrokes

From a distance this image seems beautiful to you and I

The gruesome truth takes moving closer to be noticed by the naked eye

I'm told it's a fresh coat for two creatures of comfort

And we'd be lying if we thought this would make it right

Perspective waits, it can cover up our lonelier nights

Woah, woah, woah, woah

Brushstrokes, we've shown our true colors

Museum quality, a work of art that's on display

A framed idea in shocking detail, local critics would say

You see, I'm talking about a fresh coat for two creatures of comfort

And we'd be lying if we thought this would look alright

We'll wait, we can brush this off as quieter nights

We can brush this off as quieter nights
