Portraits
Traced in solitude
I can't see past my own illusions
Colored with stagnation
False notions painted in fearful illustrations
The portrait shifts showing loathing and regret
The face distorts and reveals it's soulless pit
Why am I here
What have I done
Gallery of this hideous art
Motive for the brush strokes I have played my part
Please release me for I do not wish to see
All the plagues and all the demons that have always haunted me
And they still haunt me
The endless torment
Exhausting fear
There's no reprieve
In this place where hope burns and disappears
But there's a form that's guiding me
Man or a ghost (Is this what I've been reduced to)
Guides me through the halls of my own grave mistakes
Each colored canvas brings life back to my eyes
In every beautiful foreground I can see the figure of a man slowly turning towards me
In an open meadow bathed in star light it reveals to me the truth
Breathe me back to life
I see it now
Breathe me back to life
This will be my chance to make it right
Life goes by so fast
Weighed down by the past
Please don't forget me
I may not make it home this time
Please never forget this
I never meant to break your peerless heart
Please don't forget me
I may not make it home this time
Please never forget this
I'm trapped in this grave and I can't seem to dig my way out
I can't see past my own illusions
Colored with stagnation
False notions painted in fearful illustrations
The portrait shifts showing loathing and regret
The face distorts and reveals it's soulless pit
Why am I here
What have I done
Gallery of this hideous art
Motive for the brush strokes I have played my part
Please release me for I do not wish to see
All the plagues and all the demons that have always haunted me
And they still haunt me
The endless torment
Exhausting fear
There's no reprieve
In this place where hope burns and disappears
But there's a form that's guiding me
Man or a ghost (Is this what I've been reduced to)
Guides me through the halls of my own grave mistakes
Each colored canvas brings life back to my eyes
In every beautiful foreground I can see the figure of a man slowly turning towards me
In an open meadow bathed in star light it reveals to me the truth
Breathe me back to life
I see it now
Breathe me back to life
This will be my chance to make it right
Life goes by so fast
Weighed down by the past
Please don't forget me
I may not make it home this time
Please never forget this
I never meant to break your peerless heart
Please don't forget me
I may not make it home this time
Please never forget this
I'm trapped in this grave and I can't seem to dig my way out
