Tiny Brushstrokes

Lyrics

[Verse 1:] Well, you were gettin' these ideas up far in ya head Ya didn't think about the consequences, nothing much was said It was a lovely little page that you constructed in a week Now you're makin' sketches and ya look like a freak Well, I was lookin' at the pieces you decided to draw I must admit I rather enjoy what they are It's so obviously simple, and somehow endearing Despite how grotesque one could say that they're seeming Well, are you drawin' up smut? Who you drawin' this, for what? Are your siblings and your relatives okay with these cuts? It's a massive bit strange, but admittedly exciting Your degeneracy shows, yet it's all too enticing I have a question, it aches, and it screams You are not not who I've known, but I must say that it seems You are talented and gifted, but perhaps in the wrong way It doesn't really matter, to me, that's okay [Pre-Chorus:] And I must admit, I have saved one or two And I must admit, I am thankful to you But as a person I've known for a long, long time, I must ask What the hell does this mean? [Chorus:] What are you trying to tell me, my man? What are you trying to tell me, my man? What are you trying to tell me, my man? I cannot answer to what I don't understand [Verse 2:] You hid the prints away deep in your desk drawers Nobody will know what your psyche is holding But I have seen them, and I do know You should've thought twice before deciding to show Their subtleties are excellent, the curves and the works And the colors, and the shades, and the ways, and the words It all comes together, the colors coalesce Now pay back your buyers and sell them for less 'Cause this is nothin' but smut, this is nothin' nice, but Your siblings and your relatives will never find out what You have drawn, or what you have made At least I would like to imagine it this way But it doesn't matter now, I still need to ask Why I never knew this side of you, and what does it mask? Is there something deep down you have hidden inside? If it's true, that's fine to me, it's alright [Pre-Chorus:] And I must admit, I have saved one or two And I must admit, I am thankful to you But as a person I've known for a long, long time, I must ask What the hell does this mean? [Chorus:] What are you trying to tell me, my man? What are you trying to tell me, my man? What are you trying to tell me, my man? I cannot answer to what I don't understand
