Canvas

Tuning out of starlight

The innocent lifetime flickers and flashes

Onto a canvas

No, nobody seems worth it

And 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 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?

And 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 color

While we analyze it to try 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 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?
