Cue the Sun

[00:00.98] It starts with a canvas
[00:05.47] A starchy, blinding white
[00:09.06] Then comes the flash of illumination
[00:14.40] And the tools to record the plight
[00:20.83] So I begin drowning the surface
[00:25.34] With a swamp of acrylic swirls
[00:31.66] I'll get it right this time
[00:37.09] This time it will last
[00:40.68] Look at the world I've created
[00:46.10] Watch it as it turns like a top
[00:50.69] From the oceans and tides
[00:53.36] To the clouds and blue skies
[00:55.14] It's more than you could ever
[01:00.59] Dream to afford
[01:06.99] It ends with a loose thread
[01:11.43] And a curious hand
[01:15.00] Like a boy who stumbles upon
[01:21.36] His father's gun
[01:27.79] It's housed in a sock drawer
[01:32.27] Next to cigarettes and cheap porn
[01:34.99] He loads the chamber with
[01:38.74] One destined shot
[01:40.50] His father always regrets
[01:43.21] He left the safety off
[01:46.99] Look at the world I've created
[01:52.31] Watch it as it turns like a top
[01:56.82] From the oceans and tides
[01:59.50] To the clouds and blue skies
[02:01.33] It's more than you could ever
[02:06.75] Dream
[02:10.40] Look at the world I've created
[02:15.82] Watch it as it turns like a top
[02:20.32] From the malls and estates
[02:23.05] To the smoke stacks and freeways
[02:26.62] It's much more than you could afford
[02:31.26] You've wasted this gift
[02:33.90] Of beauty and science
[02:35.79] And now my voice won't be ignored
[02:41.15] I'll pull back the blinds
[02:43.88] And open all your eyes
[02:47.39] Let the sun drown you all
[03:35.45]
