Painting a Picture Songtext
von State Cows

Free flowing energy running through my veins
Cruel imagination, I′ve lost myself again
Searching for a reason, looking for a clue
Why the colours haunt me, if I only knew

Hidden from the window of the world the canvas of mine will come alive

I'm painting a picture in black and white and shades of gray
An endless reflection of all the things I wanted to bring out
Will it fit inside the picture frame
Will it disappear forever


I got myself a part-time job to keep my head above the line
Cause all the things I keep inside will slowly drag me down
I may not find the reason why I need to paint
I just know I have the need to express myself this way

Hidden from the window of the world the canvas of mine will come alive

I′m painting a picture in black and white and shades of gray
An endless reflection of all the things I wanted to bring out
Will it fit inside the picture frame
Will it disappear forever

Every point in space has different intensity
I'm drowning in a dream, it's blurry, it′s fading

I′m painting a picture in black and white and shades of gray
An endless reflection of all the things I wanted to bring out


I'm painting a picture
An endless reflection
I′m painting a picture
An endless reflection
