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
