Superficial World



© 2013 Mark Cote

Da Vinci washing down the forgotten walls
as paint runs away
Shakespeare sweeping the dusty halls
or reality's play

On Van Gogh's starry night
Poe's raven has taken flight
a Dylan somber tune

(chorus) Thoughtful wisdom empty sound
                      parchment paper on the ground
                      being so deep and so profound
                      doesn't mean much
                      in a superficial world

(instrumental)

What will it be when vision is gone
they just see today
or when the artist loses his dream
on a sunny day

when the colors of life cannot be seen
the raven smiles you know what I mean
as he cries never more

(chorus)
