Little Pictures

Here's a little picture for your wallet and your mind
It's me when I was searching for the blue I could not find
Me with padded pockets a dazzling future an unpolluted smile
Realtity pushed back just by the thinkings of the latest styles

I'm 27 and I'm catching myself living in the past
Walls with wilted polaroids of friends that didnt last
And everything that was promising is common now I find
So here's a little picture for your wallet and your mind
Just one of many pictures I must learn to leave behind

Here's a little picture for your wallet and your mind
It seems that what I wanted didnt like what I could find
Futility is reminiscence  Shades of velvetine
The ceaseless beating of my history, memories fill my lungs
Drowning me in different futures, down another rung

My voice cracks with the thought of you so innocent and blind
So heres a little picture for your wallet and your mind
Just one of many pictures I must learn to leave behind.
