about

Basil, the painter, is at his wit's end, unable to paint since losing Dorian as a friend.

lyrics

--BASIL--
No! Rubbish! Dreadful! Not worth the paper it’s drawn on!

I NEED A CROWNING CENTERPIECE
FOR AN EXHIBITION
I NEED A PAINTING TO INCREASE
MY STANDING AND POSITION
OR ELSE MY REPUTATION WILL BE
IN A PITIFUL CONDITION

BLANK
I AM BANKRUPT
MY VAULTS OF INSPIRATION ARE DEPLETED
WHEN I TOUCH MY BRUSH TO CANVAS
I’M DEFEATED

BLANK
I AM BANKRUPT
EVERY CONCEPT THAT I THINK OF
I’VE REPEATED TIME AND TIME AGAIN
IDEAS THAT ONCE WERE BOLD
ARE BORING - ANCIENT
THE PROVERBIAL HAT THAT’S OLD

EVERYONE HAS HAD THOSE DAYS
OF TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING

BUT THE MIND IS IN A DAZE
IT COMES UP
BLANK
NOTHING SEEMS TO COME OUT RIGHT
YOU’VE DONE IT ALL BEFORE
AND IT’S ALL SO TIRED AND TRITE
JUST BLANK

WHAT’S MORE

DEADLINES LOOM
YOU SEARCH FOR INSPIRATION
BUT YOUR OUT-PUT
IS MOSTLY PERSPIRATOIN
AND YOUR POWERS OF CREATION
SUFFER FROM CONSTIPATION

THERE SIMPLY AREN’T ENOUGH HOURS
I’M UNDER SLEPT AND OVER STRESSED
DRAINING MEAGER MENTAL POWERS

BLANK
I AM BANKRUPT
EVERY PLAN I MAKE IS AWFUL
FAILURE TASTES LIKE SIN
WHERE DID MY TALENT GO?
OR DID I EVER DO ANYTHING
BETTER THAN SO-SO?

EVERYONE HAS HAD THOSE TIMES
THE CALENDAR IS OVERFLOWING

AND YOU DREAD EACH HOUR’S CHIMES
YOUR MIND GOES
BLANK
JUMBLED THOUGHTS PRODUCE A MESS
IT’S HOPELESS SO IT SEEMS
FAILURE OVERTAKES SUCCESS
JUST BLANK

MY MIND IS IN A DAZE
IT COMES UP
BLANK
NOTHING SEEMS TO COME OUT RIGHT
I’VE DONE IT ALL BEFORE
AND IT’S ALL SO TIRED AND TRITE
JUST BLANK

BLANK
I AM BANKRUPT
SANK DOWN
MY REKNOWN
IN THIS TOWN
TORN – DOWN – BLANK
