Cannon Canvas Lyrics

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]
