Portraits

I swear I was incapable of life.
I was paralyzed.
Stuck in stasis, attached to the ground.
I struggled to hear the sound.

I never thought that I
Would get another chance to keep my hope instilled,
Another chance to feel.

I can't fathom the fact that this is real.
Don't make me admit it
(I found what makes me whole.)
If I start to spill it all I won't stop and I just don't know how far the pain of my past would go.
So, keep quiet, oh, just stay quiet,
Yes, I was a liar and now I'm alive and nothing feels the same.
Nothing feels the same.

I don't know the way, but I'll be there soon.
I just know that it's not with you.
I know I've got to get out now, (got to get out now,)
I've been forgetting I'm alone.
I've been residing anywhere that I can call a home.
It gives me hope,
It feels like you're all that I had to let go.

Don't make me admit it.
(I found what makes me whole.)
If I start to spill it all I won't stop and I just don't know how far the pain of my past would go.
So, keep quiet, oh, just stay quiet,
Yes, I was a liar and now I'm alive and nothing feels the same.
Nothing feels the same.

Some day I'll paint a picture from a perfect persons view.
I'll paint perfectly between the lines,
Won't let the ink leak through.
Then, I'll shade away the stains of what I once believed was true;
I'll paint on and on until I see a portrait portraying you.

I'll hang you on my wall to stay
So, your eyes will always follow me.
I'll be hiding all my thoughts away,
So, you'll never be just a memory.

I can't fathom the fact that this is real.
Don't make me admit it
(I found what makes me whole.)
If I start to spill it all I won't stop and I just don't know how far the pain of my past would go.
So, keep quiet, oh, just stay quiet,
Yes, I was a liar and now I'm alive and nothing feels the same.
Nothing feels the same.
