Tuning out of starlight The innocent lifetime flickers And flashes onto a canvas No, nobody seems worth it And while the feeling's sophisticated The view is so restrained The past is nearing closer and closer I fear
So let's just cut the bullshit And tell me who's independent Thumbs twiddling and your life's escaping your mind
Keep in mind Well the air ain't free as it used to be But that's quite alright when you're still eighteen It seems to be And I'll tell you who's overrated What's a beautiful person with some hideous dreams
While the lining isn't silver We're verging on the side of the road that'll take us home
The edge of us is getting weighed Read about your life in your local papers Realize the end of us is getting near You're just a droplet of paint trickled off your canvas Delirious illusions flowing backwards through the river of color While we analyze it to try see it clearer Secretly appealing to a lonely prisoner Now what's your vision?
Initiate your shading Blend the universe together In time, it only gets a little easier Suddenly piece yourself back together Now, what's your vision?
And I don't wanna have to give a damn about you Or your inhibitions After all, you're the one who taught me love Was not for everybody However, I'm starting to see this world in the right light Yet it still gets darker You see, it's just a simple symphony or a painting Whatever
This unnatural path, it spans infinitely But my world is crumbling Let it collapse into the abyss In the midst of summer it won't exist This emptiness is just a blank slate Waiting for a painter to interfere It's quite complex But what do I know?
