Words On Paper Lyrics by Dool

Here Now, There Then

2017

A piece of paper
So clean and white
I see the letters
I know what to write

I pull my hairs out
And I tape them on
I see the words now
I'd read aloud

Chorus:
But we obey the laws of the physical
Like words on paper
Like a portrait drawn

We obey the laws of the flesh and blood
Like words on paper
Like a portrait drawn

A dirty mirror
Staring back
I could paint the blushes
Carmine red

I pull my nails off
And I tape them on
A vile expression
I pick up the brush

Chorus:
But we obey the laws of the physical
Like words on paper
Like a portrait drawn

We obey the laws of the flesh and blood
Like words on paper
Like a portrait drawn

You're in the painting staring back at me
You've come a long way, I know
Come walk the path to my reality
You've got a long way to go

Outro:
Your eyes are hollow
Your lips are cold
Your voice is muffled by the sheets
My mind is broken
No words come out
Your hands are covering my mouth:

I'll just say nothing!
