Tainting / Painting Songtext
von Laeds

See him
He could go on sermonizing and
Speaking for hours with all those who listen
See him
He has been wrong all along on his
Search for whatever it is that′s important

He's mingled in all the irregular places
He′s merged with what he calls the best of society
He's shaken the hands of the important and faraway
People who don't care, who don′t see past the
Jitters (No-one is listening) (His speech is irrelevant)
Bitter (His smile is excited) (But no-one′s misguided)
Sitting (They have forgotten about him completely)

While they're waiting for their turn to talk
He is waiting to go home and work on his fibers and
Strings in the canvas, colours and dances
He loathes and detests in a faraway rite he can′t
Show


See his
Thoughts have been left unattended, offended, he's
Stranded, abandoned, but he doesn′t know yet
See him
He's always flaunted his views, they′re
Undented, undaunted, indeed they have given him

Jitters (No-one is listening) (His speech is irrelevant)
Bitter (His smile is excited) (But no-one's misguided)
Sitting (They have forgotten about him completely)

See him
He has fulfilled all his duties
Tonight he'll wave goodbye and find
The only way he knows he can get by

Tainting
His life with what he knows he can′t confess
Distressed

Painting
His nights are spent alone, he is obsessed
Nothing less

Tainting
He feels like he must make amends

Painting
He′d never tell to his friends

Blaming
His teachers decades ago


Hating
His stories and facts for the show

Finally
It's what he deserves
It′s what he deserves
It's what he deserves

Finally
It′s what he deserves
It's what he deserves
It′s what he deserves
