Canvas

Tuning out of starlight

The innocent lifetime

Flickers and flashes

Onto a canvas

No, nobody seems worth it

While the feeling's sophisticated

The view is so restrained

The past is nearing

Closer, and closer I fear.

So let's just cut the bullshit

And tell me who's independent.

Thumbs twiddling

And your life's escaping your mind.

Keep in mind

Well the air ain't as free

As it used to be

But that's quite alright

While you're still eighteen

It seems, to be

And i'll tell you who's overrated

What's a beautiful person

With some hideous dreams?

While the lining isn't silver

We're verging on the side of the road,

That'll take us home

The edge of us is getting weighed

Read about your life

In your local papers

Realize

The end of us is getting near

You're just a droplet of paint

Trickled off your canvas

Delirious, illusions flowing backwards

Through the river of colour

While we analyze

To try to see it clearer

Secretly appealing

To a lonely prisoner

Now what's your vision?

Initiate your shading

Blend the universe together

In time it only gets a little easier

Suddenly you piece yourself

Back together

Now what's your vision?

♪

And I don't

Wanna have to give a damn

About you

Or your inhibitions

After all

You're the one who taught me

Love was not for everybody

However

I'm starting to see this world

In the right light

Yet it still gets darker

You see

It's just a simple symphony

Or a painting?

Whatever

This unnatural path

It spans infinitely

But my world is crumbling

Let it collapse

Into the abyss

In the midst of summer

It won't exist

This emptiness

It's just a blank slate

Waiting for a painter to interfere

It's quite complex

But what do I know?
