The Rubens – Masterpiece Lyrics

Forty stories up it’s night and day
Never met but I could guess your name
Said you reminded me of home, in all of that time we barely spoke
So lessons learned can quickly be erased

Pouring forties down the kitchen sink
All your talking I can’t hear me think
Pushin’ pulling sees me on the brink
If it’s all or nothing let’s break off these links
All of the best guys made you whole
All of the rest I’ll never know
If this is a test I’ll take my leave and I’m on the run

But now that I’m on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along you were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
Chewing on Valium
The jet is taking off I can feel the rot spreading it’s a killer disease, killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up, and drink it like a remedy, no good for me
And now that I’m on the run
Know I got it wrong really all along you were just a masterpiece, masterpiece

There’s a place I could not let you in
Now there’s a lot to tell you so listen
I was keeping you out cause I’ve been hurt before
Becoming a coward and I hate myself more
I’m not proud, but looking back now I had to run

Now that I’m on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along you were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
Chewing on Valium
The jet is taking off I can feel the rot spreading it’s a killer disease, killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up, and drink it like a remedy, no good for me
And now that I’m on the run
Know I got it wrong really all along you were just a masterpiece, masterpiece

So with or without me, still felt you were drowning
With so many options you pick the worst timing
We don’t talk about it, don’t talk about anything
My love didn’t stop when I cut it all off and
Aaaaah
Aaaaah

Now that I’m on the run
Think I got it wrong, really all along you were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
Chewing on Valium
The jet is taking off I can feel the rot spreading it’s a killer disease, killer disease
To say it would hurt too much
So I boil it down, bottle it up, and drink it like a remedy, no good for me
And now that I’m on the run
Know I got it wrong really all along you were just a masterpiece, masterpiece
