Jackson Pollock Songtext
von Daphne Eckman

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 cuz 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

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
Oh 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
Ooomm
