Impress Us

it's a clean slate, madman

stark and white

do with it what you please

but make it good, we want it good

impress us

your blood and heart may spill,

madman, o'er the softened pages

no matter

make it good, we want it good

impress us

we'll lock you in a cell, madman

leave you there to die

for your breath it fogged our panes 

of what is wrong and right

make it good, we want it good

impress us

make it good, madman

as we stand and heckle you 

from outside the bars of creativity

staring in at the organs 

you've poured on the floor for us to see

make it good, we want it good

impress us

we want it good, the bar is high

jump o'er it madman, jump or die

and make it good, we want it good

impress us

impress us, madman 

with your sanity 

clear as day for all to see

except the judges 

they glare at your pain and pride

make it good, we want it good

impress us
