Paint (feat. Josh Rabenold) - Ekoh/Josh Rabenold.mp3

[00:13.623]Here we go, a simple question
[00:15.295]Got it on repeat something like
[00:16.941]They may never know who you are
[00:18.221]If you just keep smiling
[00:19.893]So I just keep smiling
[00:21.173]Like everything's gonna be alright
[00:22.740]Some times I just wanna go back home
[00:24.438]And crawl back in the bed and go back to my childhood
[00:26.449]In two thousand and two, I could still dream
[00:28.696]Didn't need to
[00:29.636]Never feel so see through
[00:31.047]Scared of the present, past is a lesson
[00:32.640]And now I wanna sequel. Everybody thinks they know me
[00:35.409]That's true, why am I so lonely?
[00:37.029]On the outside looking in on my own reflections
[00:39.328]Like where've you been
[00:40.320]Hey it's me again, nice to meet again
[00:42.018]Mister "I don't want your help, I don't need a friend"
[00:43.899]Think you got it all figured out, you don't
[00:45.545]If you think time is gonna help you change, it won't
[00:47.269]Both know, we can never get so low
[00:48.732]Hide them with the thoughts
[00:49.568]Which you write but you don't show
[00:50.717]It's all good 'till you lose yourself
[00:52.467]We both know the way that feels
[00:53.904]Put it on your back so stressful, hold tight, don't let go
[00:56.856]Break those thoughts to let go
[00:58.005]Through that home you grew up in
[00:59.494]It's not so simple
[01:00.905]Look at them, so quick their judge, hate, admire and love
[01:04.640]Anything and anyone you paint your picture of...
[01:07.383]
[01:08.533]I'm gonna paint you a portrait, I'm gonna cover up the flaws
[01:15.168]You'll only see what I put in the frame, hanging on the wall
[01:22.012]I'm gonna draw you a picture, of a man who has it all
[01:28.647]You'll never see any of the pain, hanging on the wall
[01:34.420]
[01:35.047]I'm tryna grow with the changes, rearrange my focus
[01:38.051]Keep the surface clean but I mean when I change a view it's like
[01:40.245]Moving a paintbrush
[01:41.969]So we all get the things that we don't wanna show
[01:43.615]It's not easy to, come clean with you when I don't mean to be rude
[01:46.227]But my skin's so uncomfortable. I just
[01:48.317]Wanna run, chase the sun around
[01:49.858]Life's been so dark in this town
[01:51.635]How to tryna get up when you're so f**ked up and become so used to being down
[01:55.475]When the drugs stop working
[01:57.173]And the pain's still present
[01:58.453]Not as strong as I claim to be, I'm just
[02:00.072]Still here to deliver this message
[02:01.692]Need to turn back, don't deserve that
[02:03.129]Eventually this picture'll turn black and I'll be ghost
[02:05.715]You wanna seek everything that I tried to hide 'cause I don't confide in you
[02:09.032]You just don't get it, I'm too different so pathetic
[02:11.880]Don't play but I feel so indebted, so ugly disconnected
[02:15.223]Put it all for the world to see I'm just
[02:16.895]Don't wanna be told I'm not enough
[02:18.541]Stuffed all of the problems down
[02:19.925]And I colored this cave with some broken crayons
[02:22.433]It's all pain in the process, I'm like "I'm fine I got this"
[02:25.307]Change the topic, here it is. I'll paint the picture to leave you with
[02:28.572]
[02:29.669]I'm gonna paint you a portrait, I'm gonna cover up the flaws
[02:36.278]You'll only see what I put in the frame, hanging on the wall
[02:42.991]I'm gonna draw you a picture, of a man who has it all
[02:49.862]You'll never see any of the pain, hanging on the wall
[02:55.870]
[02:56.157]One day we can watch this fall apart and you'll see me
[02:58.665]What's the point when I'm scared to move
[03:00.076]And I feel so low compared to you and I'm sinking
[03:02.714]I don't cry for help, I use the map
[03:04.751]I draw myself and still pretend my love is not a broken compass
[03:09.036]'cause I know the feelings were still often felt in my numbness
[03:11.099]Here waiting for this to develop
[03:12.353]And living my life up under this umbrella, the color is gone
[03:14.913]I know that it's wrong
[03:15.801]But I can't stop this, nah I can't face this truth
[03:19.067]When I break it down and it never shows just know I did this all for you
[03:23.194]
[03:23.769]I'm gonna paint you a portrait, I'm gonna cover up the flaws
[03:30.404]You'll only see what I put in the frame, hanging on the wall
[03:37.169]I'm gonna draw you a picture, of a man who has it all
[03:43.935]You'll never see any of the pain, hanging on the wall
[03:50.335]
