outlines

[chubtoad]

you yearn for a universe much bigger than the one we live in
where horses have unicorn horns
and clouds live forever
where stars burn like volcanoes in the night sky
and flowers never die

you live in a world much like your dreams
you don't seem to see the seams
where it breaks apart and you see the support beams
you don't see the dirt in the ground
or the shadow under all the frowns

you want the perfect world with perfect curves
an endless forest to explore
with pure eyes to see it all

many can fill your balloon of dreams
but i dont want to be the needle to pop it
i dont want to be the ears to hear the air bubble burst

I dont know where my reality fits in with your coloring books
I dont know where my drab greys fit in with your luscious blues and reds
perhaps i make a good border
outlining a beautiful scene
but i never seem to be the artist.
