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?
