[00:00.234]I spend my hours doing alchemy
[00:03.630]I mix my yellows and my blues to make a shade of green
[00:06.958]prosaic practice of depravity
[00:09.827]suspending innocents above their disbelief
[00:12.216]I wish that I could paint a pretty picture onto everything
[00:15.969]and leave a mark upon the world that felt like anything
[00:18.833]but maybe that's the essence of an artist and their legacy
[00:23.248]just chasing down a sense of infamy
[00:26.483]put brush to canvas with a pirouette
[00:29.721]a simple motion makes the consequence intricate
[00:32.569]all the little nothings and my parapet
[00:37.875]I hope it's something that you don't forget
[00:42.250]cadmium red is the ground beneath
[00:45.538]cadmium orange, everything I see
[00:48.765]cadmium yellow is the air I breathe
[00:52.080]cadmium colors painted inside me
[00:55.257]I can make autumn from a single leaf
[00:58.428]steal a fine picture like a first class thief
[01:01.702]make the water work like you won't believe
[01:04.895]find a new world that can set you free
[01:08.397]how could anybody ever live like me?
[01:11.752]I spend my hours doing alchemy
[01:15.112]I make a life refining zinc inside the smeltery
[01:18.466]It's not exactly where I want to be
[01:21.224]but wanting doesn't matter when there's mouths to feed
[01:23.731]I wish that I could paint a pretty picture of a fantasy
[01:27.394]and turn a feeling to a living for my family
[01:30.246]instead I make the metals in the pigments in my reverie
[01:34.657]and maybe that can be enough for me
[01:37.441]oh, isn't it funny facing destiny?
[01:41.097]it's like a knife inside twisting my arteries
[01:43.954]god, I want for nothing but identity
[01:49.252]I think that something might be wrong with me
[01:53.709]cadmium red is the ground beneath
[01:56.842]cadmium orange, everything I see
[02:00.096]cadmium yellow is the air I breathe
[02:03.387]cadmium colors painted inside me
[02:06.647]antegrade fever, 101 degrees
[02:09.833]shatter my body with a gentle breeze
[02:13.130]dammit, I am real and i have my dreams
[02:16.386]watch me burn brighter 'til I fail to breathe
[02:19.683]how could anybody ever live like me?
[02:23.726](baby, do you know what it's like to die?)
[02:26.233](to see the sparkle fade from inside your eye?)
[02:28.819]I can't remember what it's like to feel autonomy
[02:31.095]can't even feel it in the moments that you left to me
[02:34.480](I don't wanna leave with a work undone)
[02:36.700](the paint can barely dry 'fore it fills my lungs)
[02:39.184]I keep a bullet in the chamber, mocking me
[02:42.077]but I don't wanna feel it coming out of me
[02:44.834]I don't want-
[03:11.518]I spend my hours doing alchemy
[03:14.681]I mix my yellows and my blues to make a shade of green
[03:17.978]chasing impossible philosophy
[03:20.901]and hoping that this poison ain't the death of me
[03:27.411]cadmium red is the ground beneath
[03:30.632]cadmium orange, everything I see
[03:33.848]cadmium yellow is the air I breathe
[03:37.039]cadmium colors painted inside me
[03:40.282]I can make autumn from a single leaf
[03:43.569]steal a fine picture like a first class thief
[03:46.911]make the water work like you won't believe
[03:50.103]find a new world that can set you free
[03:53.387]how could anybody ever live like-
[03:57.675](baby, do you know what you wanna hear?)
[04:00.728]('cause you can say the word, make it oh so clear)
[04:03.555]we're all just searching for a sense of solidarity
[04:06.681]to hold each other close and confiscate our destiny
[04:10.601](no one wants to leave with a work undone)
[04:13.626](we only need a brush we can pass along)
[04:16.477]I kept a bullet in the chamber for a rainy day
[04:20.158]but what's the point in planning for it anyway?
[04:23.431]I've got too many colors for a shade of grey
[04:26.678]and I can make it autumn every single day!
