Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so You said your mother only smiled on her TV show You’re only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope I hope you make it to the day you’re 28 years old	0:00 – 0.25	Shot of white background with the title of the song and artist. Cuts between shots of outdoor scenery (sky, clouds) and the studio.
You’re dripping like a saturated sunrise You’re spilling like an overflowing sink You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece And now you’re tearing through the pages and the ink	0.25 – 0.45	In the studio with a white background, overlay of edited shots of a sunrise. Actor is lip-syncing to the song. Overlay of dropping inks into water. Cuts between outdoor clips.

You’re dripping like a saturated sunrise You’re spilling like an overflowing sink You’re ripped at every edge but you’re a masterpiece And now you’re tearing through the pages and the ink	1.44 – 2.02	Mid shot of paint being poured over actor’s head.
