My life is a canvas
A blank one for me to fill
The flurry of colors I see
is everything that I know
I could go on forever
Stroking pointless lines into it
Filling paintless spots with something
But it's hard to see them go.
There's nothing there
There's nothing there that I want to see
Everything I make
Will always be something
But not what I want to see
There's nothing there
There's nothing there
It's my effort
But not what I want to see
There's nothing there
There's nothing there
It's my recognition
In the size of a speck
There's nothing there-
My life is a canvas
It's progressing rapidly
I'm doing my damn best
I'm using all I have
I could go on forever
Drawing things and this and that
But my envious soul
Won't find beauty in any of it
There's nothing there
There's nothing there that I want to see
Everything I make
Will always be something
But not what I want to see
There's nothing there
There's nothing there
It's my effort
But not what I want to see
There's nothing there
There's nothing there
It's my recognition
In the size of a speck
There's nothing there
I'm just so scared to check and see
That you're doing so much better than me.
