there's a lot in life i supposed i could do
i might even start to think about you
but i have only one wish, only one desire
to exhale my thoughts with paint like fire
this swollen mind will tremble and then deflate
my brush will blacken out all my hate
the language of colors i will translate
i'll wander my palette for something great
to take these wild ideas and create
something tame with a stable mental state
i suppose there's a lot else i could do
i could even waste time thinking of you
but i have only one wish, only one desire
to exhale my thoughts with paint like fire
