Paint Yourself

You're always looking at yourself

Deciding what you do not want to see

You paint yourself with light at night

You re-write your history

The apartment that you've got's got no fire escape

What will you do?

What will you do?

And the job that you've got's made you work so hard

You don't know who you are

You don't know who you are

You say you're taking nothing for granted

But your plans don't change

And you're hoping that everything's easier

By the time you reach your old age

I'm trying to cool you like a fan

But you make it so obvious I can't

And there's always something for you to get over

When under the clearest way

Your heart is tied up in a joke

And it's all wet from some rain

All the titles you so casually gave away

Will come back and be your name

You're up against your memory

Of all you promised you just yesterday
