lyrics

I'm a painter and my ceiling is my canvas. Twirling colors dance my head. Ballerinas bound blank, boring walls that chain me to my bed.
In this moment of crass procrastination —as I crash into creation— a bright flash of evaluation! My thoughts dash into procreation.

When I'm bored I think about what has happened in my past. Those daunting decades spent hoping my childhood wouldn't last. But the past few years I've realized I've been getting off half assed... Slow and and enjoy it. Your time is slipping fast.

When I'm bored I think about the here. The this. The now. Blowing off my expectations; numbing alcohol with pals. Can't help but sit here thinking and considering, "Hey. Wow. I've been wasting my whole life, do I deserve a final bow?"

We all thrive taking everything for granted. In the past. In the future. But the present's not forever.
Why must we live never taking any chances? Take a leap! Move your feet! Why not rejoice this long endeavor?

When I'm bored I think about what'll happen in the end. Will I live a life of love? Or will I die without a friend? Can't stop thinking about tomorrow and what's round the river bend. After all, most of existence is spent underground and dead.

We all thrive taking everything for granted. In the past. In the future. But the present's not forever.
Why must we live never taking any chances? Take a leap! Move your feet! Why not rejoice this long endeavor?

When I'm bored I think about what'll happen after I'm gone. I'll be six feet under and yet... life keeps moving on. People will forget me. Yeah. It won't be very long. All that I'm leaving behind is my boredom and this song.
