Painted Ceiling - Intellectual

When I say I’m gone it's over

When I say I’m done I’m playing chicken

‘cause if you say when first I’ll be under

And I won’t get to defend what I built

What you build I build, what you build I build

But I don’t recover, I can’t recover

I just get older and wish it was over

I am fractures compounding fractures

I am shoelaces and phone wires

Pretty shadows look like patterns

Those absences can’t catch you

What you build I build, what you build I build

But I don’t recover, I can’t recover

I just get older and wish it was over

Am I some wild dog to you

Am I blueprint you’re defacing

I could get a better view without this anger I’m displacing

And do I get to know the truth at least once before I kick it?

I fight I fight I could be missing a painted ceiling

What you build I build, what you build I build

But I don’t recover, I can’t recover

I just get older and wish it was over

Am I some wild dog to you

Am I blueprint you’re defacing

I could get a better view without this anger I’m displacing

And do I get to know the truth at least once before I kick it?

I fight I fight I could be missing a painted ceiling
