I paint with my voice

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
