I hold a lamp close to the painting
observe the brush strokes
in tune so I know the world has a bigger role
I'm slow to show positive in fear it loses it's gold
shine only lasts longer then the tar on roads
I'm closing in my tongue is salivating
been standing at the station stop since i wrote my first bar
and it's only growing steady winds are heavy when blown
I miss a few chance meetings but I'm still in control
I wanted you know that I dig common feedback
if I thought you didn't care I would've fell into a relapse
and so again I'm asking your opinion
is it the man you admire or the words he delivers
shivers every whisper caught that I changed a life
I feel more right then wrong with each song here tonight
memories shift further in the right direction
If I made a connection it was cause you really listened
often gift wrap the syntax brought on by pain
I'm too personal already but I'll share my real name
it's Josh nice to meet so glad you came here
I wanna analyze the reasons that I live In fear
it started off when I got scared giving public speaking
now I'm lost in thought each night stage speakers bleeding
I feel my mother showed me the best options we had
even though she never comes to shows she don't like rap
she hates that I've wasted my years
and
well
I can't really blame I've cried enough tears
my dad says I need a band
my friends say I need demand
I'm just sharing truth with you
understand who I am
