lyrics

Listener, listen in close
'Lest you lose of the interest
In the story I've come here to tell
I feel that you must be forewarned
It is shrouded in metaphors
Hiding the evidence well

All things end
I've almost arrived at that place
And all things end
Giving me cause to retrace
Soon I'll be off and away
So I'm taking the time now to say

All things end
I've almost arrived at that place
And all things end
Giving me cause to retrace
I'll retrace my whole story
I'll trace my whole story

Our lives were only stenciled
Outlined lightly on canvas
Every woman and man had it placed in their hands
A broken-in brush with a generous splash of acrylic
We marched and converged as we readied all our arms
Oh yeah

The outline was gone
The lines were all broken
No one had colored inside

The crowd gave a cry
As we painted our casts on each other

'Til the colors had mixed
Our canvas was fixed with the picture of blends
We had earned at the hands of our friends

The outline was gone
The lines were all broken
No one had colored inside
