lyrics

V1
With The lights all off, the crowds have gone, I stand alone in emptiness
Not a sound thats not my own, save the call of her painted lips
so many times, Her silent voice, has touched my muted ears
But its come, I cannot hide, cant distract as she calls me near

I Venture forth, eyes on the floor, excuses screaming stop
I squint my eyes, and for the first time, begin to see the dark
this canvas of my life, how could it be the one
Each stroke every layer made by me and all I’ve done

Chorus
woahoh,
These colors I don’t wish to leave behind
Who am I, each flaw and all combined

woahoh
Each choice another stroke of color
And Now see
each line of own my design, it never lies

V2
I close my eyes, escape and to hide, I’d rather just not know
The disparity, of what I think, And what I’ve actually become
Told myself what I needed to hear, to get me through the times
after long enough, these things, Are now what I am inside

B
I step back and fall to the floor, I can see these guilty hands
Countless wrongs commited but, I’ve ignored all of them
These Decades hidden so well, but the reckonings begun
What of Little use now, my shield of arrogance

Late Shame fills my heart, desperation enveloping
Grace now my only hope, to gain understanding
I am not just what I’ve done, but this who I am
I see a new world now, humbled and broken


Outro
I keep low the lights, so I can hide in the shadows of my mind,
My time just a getting by, I’ve paid the price, become that which I despise
A Black ring reminds, the eyes, of mine the flaws of humankind
The brush always behind, each line of own my design, it never lies
