Soul Painter

Soul painter
Maybe later 
You’ll get a glimpse
Of the infamous soul painter

Impact, one life, one soul (oh)
Distract, from the, final goal (wooh)
One day it’ll never make sense, unless you start right now

Ruthless, drew this, line
Inside, the shaky ties
One chance, leave a mark
Beyond the dark

Wherever is the soul painter
It couldn’t be any clearer 
Just stop and look in the mirror 
It’s easy, to be a soul painter
And not a lost little chaser
Who stopped when they fell
Cause Everyone has their story to tell

Millions and millions of years
Held back by made up fears
Your existence 
can’t be fruitless
Because you’re alive 

Pick up a brush, you’ve already touched the souls of so many
Don’t waste it right now, you have your own sound, if you’d just  listen

Wherever is the soul painter 
It couldn’t be any clearer
Just stop and look in the mirror
It’s easy, to be a soul painter
And not a lost little chaser
Who stopped the moment they fell
Cause everyone has their story to tell

So many colors, hidden away
Watch how they splatter, 
Keep it close, put it away
 But don’t let them shatter
Take notice of the closest 
Ways in which you live your life
Other people will see you in a 
Whole new light

Wherever is the soul painter 
It couldn’t be any clearer
Just stop and look in the mirror
It’s easy, to be a soul painter
And not a lost little chaser
Who stopped the moment they fell
Cause everyone has their story to tell
