lyrics

from this close up
well i can see the brushstrokes and the streaks
this looks like nothing
but standing back, the double’s real
a bird appears an inch above the wall

a smudge of gold
a wing unfolds
the feather brown inscribed
we do all this to be forever the goldfinch taking flight

from way up high
a shadow falls
upon the fields, the fences and the road
it isn’t you
and yet it wouldn’t scrape the ground without you there

a smudge of gold
a wing unfolds
the feather brown inscribed
we do all this to be forever a goldfinch taking flight

cerulean meets cadmium
titanium reads white
we make these things
to keep ourselves
in the light
in the light
