Canvas

Tuning out of starlight the innocent

lifetime flickers and flashes

under 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,that the air

ain't as free as it used to be

but that's quite alright when

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 getting late

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 illusion flow back into

the river of color where we analyze

to try to see it clearer

Secretly appealing to a lonely prisoner

And now what's your vision

Initiate your shame and bring the

universe together

In time it only gets a little easier

Suddenly piece yourself back together now

So,what's your vision

And I don't want to have

to give a damn

about you or your inhibitions

And after all

you're the one you

told me you love

was not for everybody

However,I'm starting to see this

world in the right light but it

still gets darker

You see,it's just a simple symphony

or a painting,whatever

It's a natural path

expands infinitely

But my world is crumbling,I'll 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
