The Painting on the Wall
Brushstrokes of Redemption: Michael Benjamin's Vivid Reflections
Lyrics
I'm the color
I represent vibrancy or life.
I'm the paint
I am the substance that gives form and color.
the drawing in your hand
I am the creation held in your grasp.
I'll be a square
I transform into a geometric shape.
and every line
I'm made up of distinct elements, waiting for you to define me.
come paint me
Please recreate me once again.
one more time
Let the creative process happen once more.
I am the shadows
I embody darkness and light, the dual nature of existence.
black and white
I take on contrasting forms.
I'll be the cover
I serve as a protective layer, a shield.
the empty page
I am the space waiting to be filled with expression.
I'm a lover
I represent love, not wrongdoing.
not a crime
Don't mistake my essence for a crime.
your debt
Your obligation or responsibility.
the out of sight
What is hidden from view.
I'm the red light
I am a warning or prohibition.
come run me
Approach me cautiously.
come run me over
Confront and overcome me.
I've sent in the papers
I have submitted the necessary documents or information.
I finished this call
I have concluded this conversation or task.
and I stare at the mirror
I observe myself in the reflective surface.
I can finally see someone
I can now perceive an authentic version of myself.
yeah I know
Acknowledging awareness or understanding.
yeah I know
(Repeated acknowledgment of understanding.)
yeah I know
-it's not my fault
I'm not to blame for the situation.
and all of my stories
Recollection of personal narratives or experiences.
the things that gone wrong
The instances where things went awry.
the unfinished painting
An artwork left incomplete.
that's hanging on the wall
This unfinished creation adorns the wall.
yeah I know
(Repeated acknowledgment of understanding.)
yeah I know
-yeah I know
-it's not my fault
I'm not responsible for the incomplete state.
