Elliot Matsu - masterpiece lyrics

rate me

She shot you down and crushed your dreams

She showed you what lookin' in from the outside really means

And with a meat hook where your pride used to be

You find out life can be more tangled than it seems

Sleepin' in the bedroom, climbin' in the dark womb of your twisted,

tangled mind.

Cryin' out for Moses, lookin' for the roses and weeds are all you find

Keepin' on a night light, hiding from the sunshine, eating with a plastic

spoon

You've got to lie, deny and cover your eyes just to get them out of the

room

Where is this masterpiece of love? This thing you've been dreaming of?

An open and honest friend

And when your heart starts to break and everything's at stake

Can you really run away again?

You loved the idea half to death

Coffee, rain, smoke and baby's breath

Killing all the warning signs like pests

But now you feel just as cheated as the rest

Wantin' bodhisattva gettin' Jimmy Hoffa, the biggest dickhead wins

And if you ever asked her which one of you mastered the art of giving in

Yeah she'd tell you that she loved you put nothing else above you, met

you on the middle line

Ah, but she's got needs that you can't see and you let her down every

time

Where is this masterpiece of love? This thing you've been dreaming of?

An open and honest friend

And when your heart starts to break and everything's at stake

Can you really run away again?

You used to be so big and strong long ago, but now you find yourself

shaking

You used to answer all the questions with a smug certainty, but now you

find your faith breaking

The years are coming faster, life is a disaster and everywhere you look

Theories and opinions coming from the minions putting your worth on the

books

Staring at the ceiling, waiting for that feeling to come and lift you up

Ah, but you got yourself here and you better take care that you don't get

yourself stuck.

Where is this masterpiece of love? This thing you've been dreaming of?

An open and honest friend

And when your heart starts to break and everything's at stake

Can you really run away again?
