Mandibles - Color Me In

(Bob Ross)
“This is your world”

Daylight fades
Into blacks and grays
And our colorful exchanges
Yellow on the pages
I’m unmade
In a cloudy haze
And I don’t paint my own nature
With such nomenclature

But if you just color me in
This story can begin
Any shade will do
Any tint or hue
You could stay inside my lines
Or find something undefined
With a hint of blue
I give my brush to you

Spectrum-seared
In my younger years
I have seen vermillion skylight
Chased by sapphire twilight
You see me here
Colorless and clear
And you want, within your view
To see my colors true

But if you just color me in...

If I’m being honest with what I see
Your eyes cannot perceive my frequency
But I’ll let you see me as you do
So I can spend some time with you

If you just color me in...

(Bob Ross)
“On this canvas, you’re the creator
Anything you want, you can build here
I think it’s time we had some fun
Sparkle in the sun
Let’s make a big decision
Beautiful little things will happen
Just add more blue
You’d be surprised what you can do

(ohne ruhm) - I think the way you've tied colours into the song is my favourite take on that particular part of the challenge, the Bob Ross details are fun too (although the cut up sample feels like it could be made a bit more rhythmically satisfying, maybe). Good performances, and a generally sweet, warm feel that makes me feel calm and happy, much like Bob himself. Edit: Also I really enjoyed the use of the word "nomenclature".
