Mess on the wall

V6

We sprayed the colors on the concrete wall Out in the shadow of the factory tall An urban canvas under freezing skies Where layers of the past begin to rise The spray paint's dry but the colors scream A chaotic blur of an abandoned dream Bright yellow laughter and a deep blue night Left on display in the raw street light I got the steel brush, got the pressure hose Washing down the brick as the cold wind blows But every single blast makes the colors run I’m ruining the mural underneath the sun! The more I scrub, the more the colors bleed! It’s a beautiful mess that I don’t think I need! I try to erase you, wash it down to the grey But the paint runs deep and it’s here to stay! (Yeah, the paint runs deep and it’s here to stay!) Now the asphalt's flooded and the runoff flows A toxic rainbow where the tarmac glows The smear gets wider every time I fight A giant abstract shadow in the northern light I got the steel brush, got the pressure hose Washing down the brick as the cold wind blows But every single blast makes the colors run I’m ruining the mural underneath the sun! The more I scrub, the more the colors bleed! It’s a beautiful mess that I don’t think I need! I try to erase you, wash it down to the grey But the paint runs deep and it’s here to stay! Can't wash it out! Can't wash it out! The more I scrub, the more it bleeds!
