Brush and easel, ready to start Canvas white, now you just need the heart To lay on some beautiful colours Darkest visions, moments of joy Memories fading out, but do not destroy The sweet dream of finding your own way Painting black is easy You define your world with every stroke Just seeing dark's too lazy Don't concentrate on love affairs that broke You paint, therefore you are That's your nature, hats off to Descartes Just using black is boring You don't need any skill to shade out life Theres no sense in ignoring That you need more colours to survive A rainbow 's rising out of your paint box Life's a piece of art Painting passions, in dark red or blue Any colour fits as long as its true Paint your scars as light as a feather Freezing time and reshaping space Natures laws are overruled for a while You decide, how things fit together Painting black is easy You define your world with every stroke Just seeing dark's too lazy Don't concentrate on love affairs that broke You paint, therefore you are That's your nature, hats off to Descartes Just using black is boring You don't need any skill to shade out life Theres no sense in ignoring That you need more colours to survive A rainbow 's rising out of your paint box Life's a piece of art And when there's no light while crossing the border Caught in a spiral of your own breakdown Just paint like a child for the first time Just using black is boring You don't need any skill to shade out life Theres no sense in ignoring That you need more colours to survive A rainbow 's rising out of your paint box Life's a piece of art
