Handguns - Self Portrait lyrics

[Little Miss Sunshine Sample] Life is one f**ing beauty contest after another. School, then college, then work... f** that. And f** the Air Force Academy. If I want to fly, I'll find a way to fly. You do what you love, and f** the rest [Verse 1] Ever since I was a kid I knew that I was different from the rest With shaking hands and a chemically unbalance head I scared the sh** out of everyone with everything I said I always the hardest time making new friends and I still get those headaches I did when I was young I still forget to watch the words that fall off my tongue [Chorus] This is the soundtrack to a movie A motion picture that will always move me A painted portrait of candid moments My heart's a canvas and I'm the illustrator [Verse 2] A suburban family home, a bedroom of my own A collection of CD's stacked up next to a blown out stereo Were the only things that keep me from feeling alone Like I had someone to talk to It's hard enough when no one seems to get you Most days I feel fine and other I feel like I'm dying on the inside, forcing smiles on the outside I'm an optimist and a pessimist in one [Chorus] This is the soundtrack to a movie A motion picture that will always move me A painted portrait of candid moments My heart's a canvas and I'm the illustrator [Bridge] And if I were to suddenly die I'd take a good look back at my whole life Be proud of the things that I said and I did I know I wasn't innocent but I've always listened to the pound of the kick And the strum of the pick telling me that this is it (I'm an optimist and a pessimist in one) [Chorus] This is the soundtrack to a movie A motion picture that will always move me A painted portrait of candid moments My heart's a canvas and I'm the illustrator [Outro] I couldn't paint you a better picture
