Melanie Martinez - ARTS & CRAFTS -- ORIGINAL SONG BY SUQARPLXM ON YOUTUBE, SOUNDCLOUD AND
Snip, trim all the things that you don’t like
Cut and paste your life until it’s looking bright
‘Cause it’s arts and crafts, baby
You’re a canvas for painting
★ VERSE 1 ★
See the artwork all around you
Masterpieces, can’t keep count and
Teacher’s got so much pride
These girls and boys so blue-eyed
They paint impeccable pictures
Romancing their self-image
But under the thin veneer
They’re struggling to appear perfect
★ BRIDGE ★
Oh, it looks so simple, so easy
Grab a brush, flick a wrist artistically
When you can’t, you’re thinking that somethings wrong inside
What are you not doing right?
★ REFRAIN ★
Snip, trim all the things that you don’t like
Cut and paste your life until it’s looking bright
‘Cause it’s arts and crafts, baby
You’re a canvas for painting
Dozens of retries, but you can’t get it right
Can’t x-ray their image, see what lies behind
’Cause it’s arts and crafts baby
Flawlessness just out of reach
★ VERSE 2 ★
Tapestries across the wall
If only you would cross the hall
You’d notice all of the flaws
Woven in amongst the fibres
Glass vase, it may look so pretty
But when pressure sets in
It’s only a fragile image
Despite the beauty held in it
★ BRIDGE ★
Oh, it looks so simple, so easy
Grab a brush, flick a wrist artistically
When you can’t, you’re thinking that somethings wrong inside
What are you not doing right?
★ REFRAIN ★
Snip, trim all the things that you don’t like
Cut and paste your life until it’s looking bright
‘Cause it’s arts and crafts, baby
You’re a canvas for painting
Dozens of retries, but you can’t get it right
Can’t x-ray their image, see what lies behind
‘Cause it’s arts and crafts baby
Flawlessness just out of reach
★ Chorus ★
Arts and crafts
Arts and crafts
Arts and crafts, baby
★ FINAL VERSE ★
You can’t maintain a perfect pose, it is impossible
It doesn’t matter your experience as a model
Art’s meant to capture all the things that will not last forever
If you were perfect then you would be rigid, glued together
