ANACRUSIS - PAINT A PICTURE lyrics

[Lyrics by K. Nardi]

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
