Paint A Picture Lyrics - Anacrusis

Colors diluted by the lies 

And painted thick across the sky 

Have seen all life whither and die 

I gaze up at this forgery 

Up at this dark grim tapestry 

And mourn the world once promised me 

Beneath this canvas monochrome 

Wrapped in the shroud of this grey home 

I'll paint a picture 

Nothingness surrounding me 

As far as any eye can see 

This doesn't really have to be 

I, deeply from the colors, drink 

Feel them warming, filling me 

The comfort that I need so desperately

Beneath this canvas monochrome 

Wrapped in the shroud of this grey home 

I'll paint a picture all my own 

So blind beneath this canopy 

So still in lifeless scenery 

So pale within this shadow over me 

The grey no longer satisfies 

The colors neutral to these eyes 

I long again to see the sky 

I search to find a brighter side 

With eyes so frail against the light 

Which seems at times to burn me from inside 

The grey no longer satisfies 

The colors neutral to these eyes 

I long again to see the sky

Colors diluted by the lies 

And painted thick across the sky 

Have seen all life whither and die 

I gaze upon this forgery 

Up at this dark grim tapestry 

And mourn the world once promised me 

Beneath this canvas monochrome 

Wrapped in the shroud of this grey home 

I'll paint a picture all my own
