Making Pictures
[Chorus 1]
I took a photograph
I'm making pictures in my head
I took a photograph
I’m making pictures in my head
[Verse 1]
Don't want no one to see
These things were haunting me
Darkroom failures bound by the silence
I took a holy vow
But if someone could hold me now
I'd rediscover all that I am
[Chorus 1]
I took a photograph
I’m making pictures in my head
I took a photograph
I'm making pictures in my head
[Verse 2]
Don't want to make a scene
But the distance in between
Holy madness and blind inspiration
Take shelter in the dark
Like Muybridge throwing sparks
To rediscover all that I am
[Chorus 2]
You took a photograph
I'm making pictures in my head
You took a photograph
I'm making pictures in my head
[Verse 3]
What's to be left of me
A Kodak memory?
The kids will donate my lens to science
But nothing goes unseen
The distance in between
Where shadows lengthen all that I was
All that I
All that I am
[Chorus 2]
You took a photograph
I'm making pictures
You took a photograph
I'm making pictures
I’m making pictures
[Outro]
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
