The Painter

I tried to remember the last time
I heard another voice calling out for me
I tell you I can understand your skepticism
Let me tell about the way of the world

Cause I'm an artist when it comes to a head
When the shit hits the fan, drives you out of your mind
Lets take a walk through the garden of life
See the devils in the details when you want to survive

I walk through the halls
Painted the alter
Of my sacrifice
As she calls
I can see the door
Eyes painted black
No turning back
I have seen the way it ends

Let's take a moment to appreciate the lonely candlelight
Ignite the world and draw you into the flame
The satisfaction when you satiate the hunger
For the longest time I saw the painter drawing your eyes

I walk through the halls
Painted the alter
Of my sacrifice
As she calls
I can see the door
Eyes painted black
No turning back
I have seen the way it ends

I walk through the halls
Ignite, tonight I burn the walls
(I thought I saw her standing there)
Anticipation, formulation
Begging for my immolation
(I paint her eyes wide open)
As the fire consumes
I capture every vapour
As the painting evolves before my eyes
Eyes painted black no turning back
You struck the match
And watched an empire burn
