Lil Hucch Nayyi - Surreptitious Sketches

You walk along a shady street
And a pencil scratch is heard
A whisper and a whistle sounds
But not another word
There's something going on here
That you cannot seem to place
A cackle rings from rooftops
And you don't have a face!

Splattered on the canvas
Is your life in brief
Sketches in the shadows
Don't make me a thief
You can say I'm evil
But I'd beg to differ
Cause now I look like you
And you can't be cured

Darger could never be like me
What you get isn't what you see
Burn away the layers and my soul is bare
Just stroke on my brush and I'll be there

The smoke is clearing up now
And the footsteps recede
The cobblestone is quiet
And the clouds do not bleed
The daytime seems to beckon
Respite comes soon
But then you start to see me
In the masses too

Darger could never be like me
What you get isn't what you see
Burn away the layers and my soul is bare
Just stroke on my brush and I'll be there
