Mr. Sharpie

His feet are glued upon this floor
They won't be moving anymore
We watch his arms flail and his hips bend
But on what's be-neath they depend
His knees are tethered to that place
Destined to yank upon that weight
Cuz they want to fly and never come down
But now to the weakest link they are bound

Oh what luck, the sun won't shine
And burn away that pav-ed tile
His feet won't be stuck upon this floor
A permanent ink blot on the world

His true colors are something that will remain in desire
Far beyond all that smoke lies a hidden fire
A mountain of dirt and ash are keeping it weighed down
It won't go out, it's always gonna
Burn burn burn burn!

His hair has been blackened by the ash and the smoke
His eyes are blind now, not one but both
But the beat starts to knock the dust off his face
The rhythm of blood beating out of its place
His heart is a candle burning in an ocean of oil
But it sunk to the bottom and it's plans were foiled
Cause the wick knows it'd outshine the entire age of men
But it's dried up and black at the burning end

His true colors are something that will remain in desire
Far beyond all that smoke lies a hidden fire
A mountain of dirt and ash are keeping it weighed down
It won't go out, it's always gonna
Burn burn burn burn!

His true colors are something that will remain in desire
Far beyond all that smoke lies a hidden fire
A mountain of dirt and ash are keeping it weighed down
It won't go out, it's always gonna
Burn burn burn burn!
