Fine Art of Selling Out

from Turpentine Wind by Kurt Swinghammer

/

lyrics

Autumn night
Alchemy of cold
Jack frost white
Changing leaves to gold
Fall is the season it all becomes clear
The calling and following leading you here
Echoing deeper into the interior forest
The test of a man manifest on a canvas
A looking glass lake with an upside down surface
Dragging a brush through the mirror veneer of wilderness

But the masterpiece is in doubt
Now you've mastered with ease
The fine art of selling out

West wind blow
Jack pine bow with grace
Northern soul
Wears a weathered face
Diluting the watercolours with antifreeze
Deluding yourself through chattering teeth
Pretty soon you'll be so numb you won't feel anything
The paradox of paradise
As isolation turns to ice
Nobodies there to notice the fire isn't burning

And the masterpiece is in doubt
Now you've mastered with ease
The fine art of selling out
