Perpetrated Canvas (2/6/2008)

[verse 1]
Isolated paintings that reside inside this canvas
Thinner fumes can not erase the anything that’s happened
These brush strokes are the perpetrated acts of lonely arrogance
Fibers of the being that are colored in by passion

[pre-chorus]
So gaze on me
Just gaze on me…

[verse 2]
Stare upon the tears in flesh that shred and show the stitches
The visions of collections that will morph into these pictures
Random strokes of innocence that grow into these fissures
Crimson streams of bitterness are carved in by your scissors

[pre-chorus]
So gaze on me
Just gaze on me
Gaze on me
Put your gaze on me..

[chorus]
And watch me spill these colors out
Just watch them flow together
Criticize the blackest clouds
And laugh to make it better
Mix the oils of the pain and shatter ever canvas
And postulate the meaning of the ordinary standard
So, gaze on me
Won’t you gaze on me?

[bridge]
Lie
Lie
Lie
Lie…

[pre-chorus]
So gaze…
Just gaze on me…

[verse 3]
Recollect the artisans and elevate their message
Find pretentious meaning in your artificial guesses
Mold it to intelligence and whore out every lesson
Until the words of colors, in the end are fucking lessened

[pre-chorus]
So gaze on me
Wont you gaze on me?
Gaze on me
Never gaze on me…
Again

Notes: I haven’t done song lyrics in a very long time and I still want to avoid them as much as possible, but I was listening to a Tool song and I just wanted to experiment a little bit and break away from the standard poems.
