Pretty Painting

You sit alone with focus soft (I show my teeth)
Hours in a wooden chair
Are you ok? (I cross my feet)
Are you even there?
Figure of a memory
Before it's ever made
Picture of a girl so far away

Shadows on a pretty face (I wanted to go somewhere)
Gather underneath the eyes
Tell me something nobody would know (I wanted to go somewhere)
Do you know it's obviously
Painted in your shape
Lost and lonely quiet carrion crow

Pretty painting
Of a winner
She's all she knows and when she goes
Here's something to remember
Once when she was younger she was bored
And someone asked to paint her

People standing in a room (I wanted to go somewhere)
Crowd around the thought of you (I wanted to go somewhere)
Someone says she must've been in love
All the same behind the light
Spider in a glass
Staring back at strangers as they pass

Pretty painting
Of a winner
She's all she knows and when she goes
Here's something to remember
Once when she was younger she was bored
And someone asked to paint her
