Picture Poem by josh mckinney

Picture



ou paint a pretty picture of something you call your own
but your not the only victim of a life thats set in stone
a love so strong
and a light to hold on
you say

Chorus

i have lived a thousand lifetimes
in all these familiar lies
just for one moment
one moment in your eyes

so take what you've been given
another memory made of sand
just laugh at the moment
as it falls through your hands
just hold my breathe and long for peace
and watch as the blackness slowly creeps
into this life
into your life
and still you say

Chorus repeatX1
(addended) X1

i will live a thousand more
in these familiar lies
just to feel this moment
one more time

while you sit and wonder whether you will live
or die in this plunder loves all you have to give
there is nothing left to say
so just pull the trigger on yesterday
feel it pull feel it shake
as the wind washes it away
you will always say

chorus repeat X2
i could live a thousand lifetimes
in all these familiar lies
just for one moment
on moment in your eyes

fade out instrumental
