Thumbnail (feat. Brian David Gilbert)

Keep it quick, say it brief

If it's fast it will be a relief

Short on time, that's a gift

Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

Desperate parts, desperate hearts pulled through a sieve

Hand me a chart so I know how to start to say this is all I can give

To summarize seems incomplete

How novel is a novel that can fit on one sheet?

It seems that I'm destined to fail

To compress myself to the size of a thumbnail

Keep it quick, say it brief

If it's fast it will be a relief

Short on time, that's a gift

Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

Na, na, na, na, na, they'll catch the drift

Na, na, na, na, na, they'll catch the drift

Na, na, na, na, na, they'll catch the drift

Na, na, na, na, na, they'll catch the

Don't like what's revealed here

When your depth of fields near, it's hard to come close

Chip stones from the boulder, suddenly my vulnerability shows, oh

You can crop and trim till all that's left

Is the essence of a presence that is feeling bereft

Of a guard in just the gist of a tale

That is less of an image and more of a thumbnail

Keep it quick, say it brief

If it's fast it will be a relief

Short on time, that's a gift

Count your seconds and they'll catch the drift

Na, na, na, na, na, they'll catch the drift

Na, na, na, na, na, they'll catch the drift

Na, na, na, na, na, they'll catch the drift

Na, na, na, na, na, they'll catch the drift
