Portrait in Black and Blue Songtext
von King Krule

Spastic gyrations
And abbreviated bathing suits
See I suit you
′Cos I could be you
And I could show you true
'Til the cold runs through and through
A portrayal in black and blue

I′m not painting this lie anymore
Since it was all I had to adore of you
And all I had to say
Girl, you keep running away


Well time never gave me a chance
I should of been there
Well you laid me bare
Took my soul to wear
Left a hole to despair
See what I'm going through
You never even knew
That's nothing on my plate
Trapped in a lizard state
My mind′s at the gate
Looking for an escape

I′m not painting this lie anymore
Since it was all I had to adore of you
And all I have to say, girl
I'm not painting this lie anymore
I′m in the dark and I'm in awe of you
And all you had to say
It never hit me the same boy
