The Paintings of a Fool

We walked into a painting

With a pitch-black heaven and silvery sand

The marram grass around us got entangled

Resembling our hands

Please, don't be a stranger

Don't forget my name

'Cause forgotten paintings will stay

Forever hanging in their frames

I wanted to get closer

But it's foolish to hold on to you

'Cause you're just like a statue

Wonderful, but I can't reach you

So I wrote you a letter

You left it unanswered

I know you get many

So many

And mine is too heavy

Please, don't be a stranger

Don't forget my name

'Cause forgotten paintings will stay

Please, don't be a stranger

Don't forget my name

'Cause forgotten paintings will stay

Forever hanging in their frames

Now I know, why you had to go

I've never truly seen the moon

And someday soon, it will be history to me too
