Art puns and metaphors! Yes, "ease'll" was intentional.

lyrics

With painted sunsets as a backdrop
We used to stroke each other longingly.
Before the thinned acrylic wash subdued the hue
She made impressions last, at first abstract to me.

Though her technique is fine,
The bristles tend to fray
And she hasn't made efficient use of space.
Despite the stain she thinks she sees,
The fact she flees with ease'll
Leave a blank that won't erase.
And sparing me the bold-faced line
She draws herself away,
And is gone without a trace.

And so she's brushed me off.

With subtle tone in her expressions
She framed me yet I've never been displayed.
The pigment of imagination, I apply.
She'll leave me in the dark despite her subtle shade.

Though her technique is fine,
The bristles tend to fray
And she hasn't made efficient use of space.
Despite the stain she thinks she sees,
The fact she flees with ease'll
Leave a blank that won't erase.
And sparing me the bold-faced line
She draws herself away,
And is gone without a trace.

She dipped my pen in ink and overflowed my heart.
It can't be said I never suffered for my art.

And so she brushed me off.
