Canvas Stays Blank
Witness

It's just a snowstorm, right?

Just another night.

Just another life.

Just another friend.

That went to walk on thin ice.

I know it ain't my place

To make these kind of statements

But lately you've been distant

And isn't transportation

That's been making it a problem

I find it odd when you don't return my calls

But, maybe you've forgot them

I'll give you that

But try to give me this

I bet your fingertips are numb

And it isn't even winter, kid

It might be insignificant

And maybe I'm just worried

But you're getting close to thirty

And you haven't left Jersey once

Tried to chalk on the board as just a phase

But the dust is getting thicker

And the pictures getting vague with age

Like, where you living?

How are you affording this?

You used to be an artist

Show me what your self portrait is

Ex-friends

Got a lot in the bank

But, I want to know the reason

That your canvas stays blank

Take another razor

Take another mirror

Take another year

And I'll probably stop counting

Don't get it twisted

This ain't no intervention

The world is just a stage

And maybe yours is Trenton

It's just a shame

That the actors are anonymous

And only those you broke a promise with

Are in the audience

It's probably obvious

That I'm feeling kind of guilty

It kills me that I neglected this

To get my kicks in Philly

Still we gotta talk

We should grab some coffee

And catch up on the last four years

That you lost me to

Cylindrical dollar bills that never make change

And just the other day I heard you're taking it in vein?

I complain because you used to paint the world a little brighter

You used to be inspired

You used to be a writer

And I knew about the fire

Way before it burned the bridges

But I guess that it was something

That I thought that you'd extinguish

I've got a picture of a face I used to know

But who's the person in the mirror

When you scrape away the snow?

Hold up

Kill the conjecture

I didn't come to lecture you

I came to get the truth

And understand you better

Through the pleasures you indulge in

The world that you've frozen

The doors that you closed

Since your souls been snowed in

This skins grown thin

From over exposure

To elements like yours

And keeping my composure when

I need closure

You never sober enough

To even keep this boat

Afloat in the flood

But the water is tepid, test it, settle and wet your feet,

I bet if you kept that head beneath another second you would sink

Or maybe you have, maybe you're rock bottom

And you only got a problem when you got the time to think

So, I'll be the kite without a string in your tempest

And you'll be the crack in this terra cotta friendship

And, that's how we'll end it.

Confusion and angst

While you're wandering a city

Where your canvas stays blank
