Exterior

Take a brush that's true
Color me as only you could do
So is my sky gray or blue?

With a steady hand
Shadows and lines inform your plan
Still I don't seem to understand

These green colored eyes
I can't even recognize
If I stare forever in the mirror
Can I chip away,
The exterior?

From behind the lens
Perspective shifts
and reality bends
Is this real or just pretend?

Who wins the prize?
Who counts the cost and who decides?
The simple truth,
sometimes lies

To these green colored eyes
I can't even recognize
If I stare forever in the mirror
Can I chip away,
The exterior?

'Cause I got walls around me
But it don't feel like a home
I got words and meanings
But I'm still here all alone

Been here before
Same lines I'm selling from door to door
I've won some battles,
But not the war

With these green colored eyes
I can't even recognize
If I stare forever in the mirror
Can I chip away…
At these eyes,
'cause I can't even recognize
If I stare forever in the mirror
Can I peel away
The exterior?
