Where my brush hits, I can't erase

Instrument moves along

the path my mind designates

I want to paint the truth



I just want to know the truth

I just won't let go of my youth

And though I try, the one thing I

Will never hold on to is my youth



Those who hear my art

Find the flaws I cannot shade

Colors years ago kept me from a renegade

What a work of art right out there for all to see

Masterpiece to some, not a thing to do with me

I want to paint the truth



I just want to know the truth

I just won't let go of my youth

And though I try, the one thing I

Will never hold on to is my youth



Artist or not I can't keep all I've got

Artist or not I can't keep all I've got

Artist or not all that I've got is not my own

I want to paint the truth, the truth

I just want to paint the truth



I just want to know the truth

I just won't let go of my youth

And though I try, the one thing I

Will never hold on to is my youth



Artist or not I can't keep all I've got

Artist or not I don't know all I've got
