lyrics

Our song would still exist
if and only if
the infinite
could be conveyed

If only my analysis
could interpret
the product of your palette
all you paint
I’m trying, I’m trying oh

Oh I’m trying… to solve
On paper what belongs on canvas
You’re much more of one to paint
I’m trying with numbers anyways
Staying steadfast to our colors

Even if I math it
and find a number,
approximations are,
just a bummer
(a bummer, a bummer oh)

Oh I’m trying… to solve
On paper what belongs on canvas
You’re much more of one to paint
I’m trying with numbers anyways
Staying steadfast to our colors

(Solo)

Oh I’m trying… to paint
On canvas what belongs on paper
You’re much more to cipher your shades
I’m trying with a brush that’s dull and gray
Staying steadfast to our colors
(dull and gray)
Staying steadfast to our colors
