Color My World - Eyedea & Abilities[00:00:00]

I once met a man who trained himself not to dream[00:00:53]

What he seems to have seen was a glimpse of everything[00:00:56]

He's been painting pictures on canvas since age thirteen[00:00:59]

And claims he only exists in the mind of a higher being[00:01:02]

And I enjoy his work; mostly scenic landscapes[00:01:06]

But each one is focused on an easel where the man paints himself painting himself[00:01:09]

And all that's in his visual field[00:01:14]

He said this was the only way he could make himself real[00:01:16]

Ever since he could remember he had one nightmare reoccur[00:01:19]

But until about ten years ago[00:01:22]

It didn't matter[00:01:24]

It consisted of loud[00:01:25]

Distorted sounds echoing off the concrete[00:01:27]

He ran on top of it in attempt to reach a ladder[00:01:28]

Now sometimes[00:01:32]

He'd get so close but never touch his destination[00:01:33]

Which caused him much frustration 'cause he didn't know what it meant[00:01:35]

And by the end of the dream[00:01:39]

He saw the scene from a bird's eye[00:01:41]

Only to witness his dead body laying on the cement[00:01:42]

It was only to witness his dead body laying on the cement[00:01:45]

At first it freaked him out[00:01:49]

But after a while he grew content[00:01:50]

So he thought "It's just a dream "[00:01:52]

And kept living his life[00:01:54]

Writing his soul on the canvas 'cause it sheds his planet light[00:01:55]

And it goes on and on like space and time ain't nothing odd[00:01:59]

It's not that he didn't believe[00:02:03]

He just didn't approve of God[00:02:04]

His experience was one I couldn't comprehend[00:02:05]

'Till I stopped being detective and listened to him as a friend[00:02:08]

He said[00:02:12]

He once saw a painting that told his whole life story[00:02:12]

It was then that he knew he was the art of divinity[00:02:16]

He once saw a painting that told his whole life story[00:02:19]

A brush stroke of the gods made him one note in their symphony[00:02:22]

He once saw a painting that told his whole life story[00:02:26]

He spoke for himself and not the rest of humanity[00:02:29]

He once saw a painting that told his whole life story[00:02:32]

And I realize that I'm not real[00:02:36]

God just imagined me[00:02:37]

It's like I said[00:03:04]

About ten years ago the event that changed his whole reality[00:03:05]

Took place on his monthly trip to the local art gallery[00:03:08]

It was there where he studied his contemporaries[00:03:11]

And there where he nearly carried his sanity to a hole and buried it forever[00:03:14]

It was a very mysterious day[00:03:18]

The place was almost empty[00:03:20]

And he got chills down his spine just being present in the scene[00:03:22]

On the wall there was a picture that looked familiar[00:03:25]

And when he got close his heart stopped[00:03:27]

Cause he saw it was a painting of his dream[00:03:30]

It was a painting of his dream[00:03:32]

His body on a runway[00:03:34]

By a ladder to an airplane with its propellers spinning[00:03:35]

Which accounted for the loud noise[00:03:38]

The match up was perfect[00:03:40]

And that was the day he stopped believing in existing[00:03:41]

He resented his creator[00:03:45]

I mean words can't explain[00:03:46]

What must have went on in his brain[00:03:48]

While he stared into a frame[00:03:50]

Of a work of art which he created and was at the same time[00:03:51]

The mind can't handle that much it's just insane[00:03:55]

It's like reading a book[00:03:58]

Where each words describe your thoughts[00:03:59]

And in quotations it reads whatever you say when you talk[00:04:01]

You think it can't happen[00:04:04]

But it did happen[00:04:06]

I guess there's surprisingly wide cracks in each life's sidewalk[00:04:08]

He stumbled upon an answer when he never had a question[00:04:11]

And decided to stop dreaming to maintain his mental health[00:04:14]

Now he hardly talks to people[00:04:17]

Just stays in his basement[00:04:19]

Writing infinity by painting himself[00:04:21]

Painting himself[00:04:23]

This is a strange universe[00:04:24]

Is it all just a blueprint[00:04:26]

In the real universe is my consciousness useless[00:04:28]

Are we really something a higher intelligence made up[00:04:31]

A figment of imagination colored by a cosmic paintbrush[00:04:34]

Maybe all of our art creates the fate of other beings[00:04:38]

Then every character in ever novel thinks it's alive and were just gods[00:04:41]

Ruling blindly[00:04:45]

Just a theory[00:04:45]

I don't know what it means[00:04:47]

But that's the story of the man who trained himself not to dream[00:04:48]

He once saw a paining that told his whole life story[00:04:51]

He witnessed the paradox of the word "existing"[00:04:55]

He once saw a painting that told his whole life story[00:04:57]

He colored his world theirs and concluded he wasn't living[00:05:01]

He once saw a painting that told his whole life story[00:05:04]

The hidden variable that all that is is art[00:05:08]

And when I close my eyes I see eternity as a story[00:05:11]

A God imagined the God that imagined me[00:05:14]

And I am God[00:05:16]

And so on[00:05:18]

And so on[00:05:20]

And so on[00:05:21]
