| 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? |
