The Crane Wives - Empty Page

[Verse 1]
I'm just a ten cent copy
Of people far more advanced than me
Every thought that I've ever had
Could be ripped from a magazine
Cut me a path, and I will follow it
Draw me a line, and I'll avoid it
I'm nothing if not obedient
You have my word
You have my word

[Chorus]
I am an empty page
A muddled shade of paint
I am a light that's burning out
I am a light that's burning out
I have hands that shake
When there are cuts to make
You'll do it better, show me how
You'll do it better, show me how

[Verse 2]
Tie me up by my callow belief
Someday I'll make something out of me
Years of imitating mastery
Only made me a better thief

[Chorus]
I am an empty page
A muddled shade of paint
I am a light that's burning out
I am a light that's burning out
I have hands that shake
When there are cuts to make
You'll do it better, show me how
You'll do it better, show me how

I am an empty page
A muddled shade of paint
I am a light that's burning out
I am a light that's burning out
I have hands that shake
When there are cuts to make
You'll do it better, show me how
You'll do it better, show me how
