The next day
A step off my bed, the other foot follows
Stumbling towards the junk that's laid neatly in a pile
This is my life stuffed in a jewelry box
No earring to match, not even a watch
Frantically searching for what I call a mind
The picture is painted perfectly
Wishing I can find all that was lost years ago
A hoarders favorite fantasy under my bed
Now shoes and belts and purses come out
Oh, wow, there goes that top ball I thought I swallowed in my mouth
Aggravated as hell, can't calm myself down
I'm looking, I'm looking!
It's nowhere to be found
I hold back the tears and grab for my blinds
Where is it?
Who am I?
Can someone paint this obstructed scene in my crazy mind?
Perfectly painted picture evidently destroyed
I'm trying, I'm trying
Can no longer be ignored
I want the lust
I need the crave
I have this thirst
Forgetting what It is I'm searching for again
In this state of confusion
I think it's brushes
I thought it was paint
It might be a drinking bottle
No, it was the easel
Dammit
Dammit
Dammit
It was taken
Stolen
A thief in ninja pants and a blue durag swiped it in the dead of night
Or, just maybe
A cat burglar in a feathered church hat and red latex stripper boots
Ha! A red nose, red hair, white face-painted clown in a deep blue suit and tan striped tie
I'm sorry, I can't recall
Blame it on the massive amounts of narcotics thrown in the cabinet
NA's worst nightmare
Where is it?
Who am I?
Can someone paint this obstructed scene in my crazy mind?
Of this crazy world
On this crazy day
In my crazy life
In my crazy mind
This obstructed scene
Can you paint it?
