I paint a thousand pictures here On the inside of my skull Sometimes I'll crack it open Though my instruments are dull I focus in, then out of view When the blows land on my chin A wild river's seeping slowly Through the cracks in my skin I've got a hunger for sweet admiration But can't exchange it for my occupation As the Fallen cleric Chief of sinners Poor of spirit Take all the mud and glory in The blood that swells my hand Shake it out with delirium tremors And guide my palsy pen Who's impressed enough to follow me?
