about

The image captured by silly putty is ephemeral. It fades to a blackish wash, and eventually is just a memory. Life is totally worth it.

lyrics

Every whim and every act of fate,
Every act of freedom starts today.
Never put a wall up, don't delay
Never seal your heart up, love can't be saved

Have you ever dared to live a dream?
Impassioned, let your heart float down the stream.
Have you ever looked beyond earth's subtle gleam?
Where transcendent ever-glow dares to beam?

And all I know is silly putty,
Stripped the lines up,

And all I know is rather funny,
Get your notes out,

And all I know is ancient knowledge,
Rather studious

Seems all I know's under-acknowledged,
Just the ego

Rather like, a starry night,
Thinking, though it's rather dark out
Locked away, though not too tight,
Answers near and far as clouds

And all I've ever felt,
it feels like I could feel now

And all I've ever thought,
methinks that I could think now

And of the universe,
it seems that I could wonder how...

Seems silly putty's
picking up the best wow

All my mirrors and my works of art,
Tell me that a song is where to start,
Evening comes and goes, though not too late,
Nighttime steals the wee hours of the day,

And how my heart,
it flutters like a motor,

It seems my only ship has sails,
no rudder,

But that's ok
because the wind will take me

If I'm not hard,
perhaps the wind will shape me,

If I am too brittle, it will break...me
If I am too fickle, I'll be chilled
If I turned the wind off, it won't take me
When I need a cool breeze, I'll be out...on my luck

But there I go again,
I'm not the God of nature

I'm not the God of any subject,
any matter

I'm just an artist,
medium perception,

I paint the world with light,
with glad redemption

Although perhaps not painting,
maybe sweeping

My paintbrush is a broom,
for painting big things

It all seems makeshift,
but it's really perfect

It takes forever,
but it's really worth it

But silly putty,
that you have to scrape up

It's pink flesh blackens
as it sucks the ink up

A memory,
although it is ephemeral

The print is lost,
the moment rather memorable...
