Mc Lars - Francis Bacon Slashed The Canvas lyrics

[Intro: repeat 2X] Slash, slash [MC Lars] I was in Amsterdam with my ex-girlfriend She was pa**ed out, it was amde late I was mad lost, she was naked I was starin at her tattoos and I couldn't take it (because) Somethin dark had taken its toll I'd been rollin with the Devil, I'd been sellin my soul Like a rock cliche, I felt so alone I cried myself to sleep and dreamt I was home Not about, to go get tangled on a bitty, I've finagled Many hearts, and ladies it's been clear since hip-hop brought my here I felt, like Francis Bacon Hope that, I'm not mistaken Mouth open with the eyes scratched out That's how I felt when she told me God was dead [Chorus: repeat 4X] God's not dead he's been hiding [MC Lars] At the Amsterdam airport, we said goodbye All this I'd been seeing we'd been living a lie And I never felt freer than I had in my life When I left her that day we flew home on different flights I stopped in Spain for a week I found myself in Gaudi's architecture, Barcelona was a treat Francis Bacon, at El Museo del Prado Up in Madrid feel like I won the lotto The post-war painter spoke to me with a pain in his brush strokes vocally And the cris of fait that he showed to me Not a joke to me, well hopefully - because I'd been living with a Buddhist nihilist suicide girl artist love tatted on her lip and on her hips; I had everything hip-hop had brought me I thought back to the day in February when she lost me (I SAID GOD LOVES YOU!) She shook her head That's when it all became clear [Interlude] Slash, slash - I'ma get that canvas Slash, slash - better understand this Slash, slash - like Francis Bacon Slash, slash - this is all I'm sayin Slash, slash - take your dark-a** world Slash, slash - move back home girl Slash, slash - cause I don't have time to watch you try to breed your demons with mine [Chorus] [repeat 6X] Slash, slash [John Reuben] Hold up, I speak in the quiet While you're sleeping underneath your eyelids I'm alive in the silence Where it seems I've been hiding but there's no denying that it's painfully lonely And you're waiting for a sign like "show me" Though you may not know yet at first glance You can see my thumbprint on your circumstance And I'll give you everything you need Grace and mercy and the air you breathe The clarity to see, the ears to hear But there's so much noise that seems to interfere Without pain you'd never know love There's not a trial you can't overcome And when you feel exhausted, ready to give up Remember that I'm here like I always was
