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?
