Painted Bullets

from Long Live Merritt (2017) by Toxic Sunshine

/

lyrics

I will throw my songs in the fire
and watch them all burn away.
You can throw your art on top
and we'll watch the embers
dance around my face.
When your face melts off
I'll tell you it's alright.
I feel like I have known you
since before we even met.
I feel like I know where this is going
without knowing where we've went.
Paint me a car
and I might drive it off a cliff.
Paint me the ocean
and I'll watch the tide come rolling in.
Paint me a world that isn't built on
gender, race, and stereotypes
Paint me a world that's just you and I.
Until then paint me the bullets
to shoot the stars down one by one.
It was a dark night on a swing set
where I learned your story
and you learned mine.
I would love to relive those
moments one more time.
If our bones start to splinter
I'll tell you it's alright.
I feel like I have known you
since before we even met.
I feel like I know where this is going
without knowing where we've went.
Paint us two cups and we can toast
to the rest of our lives.
Paint us the means to escape
so we no longer have to hide.
Paint me a world that isn't built on
gender, race, and stereotypes.
Paint me a world that's just you and I.
Until then paint me the bullets
to shoot the stars down one by one.
Paint me a world that's just the two of us in love.
