Carpenter

Dont let the sunlight in

You just might burn a hole through the floor

I see my furniture

Falling into a chipwood vortex

Give me a hand

The ultraviolet melts the carpet

The varnish is quite thin

I bought it out last year on a sale

The seller told me the devil's in the details

I never had the patience of a painter so

Help me forget

This was my best creation

Comes another day

I try to understand

The splinters are my harbinger

I never was a carpenter

I never was a carpenter

I never was a carpenter

A shadow sets on us

His dirty shoes barge through the door

His criticism has overstayed its welcome

All I required: A back-pat and a Well done!

Give me a chance

A phoenix in the making

Comes another day

I try to understand

The splinters are my harbinger

I never was a carpenter

I never was a carpenter

I'll never be a carpenter
