Cannon Canvas Lyrics - Singles - The Fire Tonight

color and needles break the skin 

pain the perception desired on the outside so the art 

can obscure unpleasant truth that's within 

slow addiction drowns out the regret 

the things that you cannot change, all the empty pain 

is burned away in blinding lights of blue and red 

what do you see? 

what do you see now? 

in the pretty pictures that blanket the self you disavow 

you can decorate but it's never enough 

no, it's never enough 

you can saturate but it's never enough 

no, it's never enough 

for your cannon canvas 

separation of self and stain 

the truth and habitual charades have become just shades 

a monochrome rendition of yourself you maintain 

[pre chorus] 

[chorus] 

she is busy and alone 

popular without a home 

energetic, dead inside 

i would not have survived 

[chorus]
