The Paintings of a Fool

We walked into a painting​

With a pitch-black heaven and silvery sand​

The marram grass around us got entangled​

Resembling our hands​

​

Please, don't be a stranger ​

Don't forget my name​

'Cause forgotten paintings will stay​

Forever hanging in their frames​

​

I wanted to get closer​

But it's foolish to hold on to you​

'Cause you're just like a statue ​

Wonderful, but I can't reach you

So I wrote you a letter​

You left it unanswered​

I know you get many​

So many​

And mine is too heavy​

​

Please, don't be a stranger​

Don't forget my name​

'Cause forgotten paintings will stay​

Please, don't be a stranger​

Don't forget my name​

'Cause forgotten paintings will stay​

Forever hanging in their frames ​

​

Now I know, why you had to go​

I've never truly seen the moon ​

And someday soon, it will be history to me too
