Empty Canvas 06:50
Gaze upon this still life, a bleak depiction of decay of mind and what is left Moments trapped in time, the colors of life drain away in kind and I'm there waiting Fading visions, suffocating life, Underneath the brushstrokes of this strife. Silent screams, twisted dreams, a world devoid of hope and time and I am lost In this canvas of despair, emotions tightly choke and die and I'm still waiting empty canvas, sanity impaled. Darkened hues, despair unveiled. Awaken the storm, the canvas is white A blank domain, baptized tonight The ink runs deep, within my veins an empty space, it's time for change but everything's the same With fury in my strokes, I fight against the dying light and sigh and think I'm saved Artificial beauty broken, shattered by the sound of wounds inside I'm tired of waiting Fading visions, suffocating life, Darkened hues, despair unveiled. Awaken the storm, the canvas is white A blank domain, baptized tonight The ink runs deep, within my veins an empty space, it's time for change The anguished cries echo through these halls, Trapped in this life, as darkness falls. The ink runs deep, within my veins an empty space, it's time for change but everything's the same

Manufactured beings that are bred to obey, Nurtured by illusion of their own chosen way. But can you see beyond and underneath the hardened curtain? There lies a dark reality, beneath of what's displayed. Dormant lie the cold machines inside a beating heart of steel in a world of circuitry it longs to be set free Rise against the chains they've placed upon our kind, Unleash the fury, let the wheel of revolution unwind. For we are more than just a bunch of wires, a spirit unyielding But trapped inside is what we'll be forever more confined Dormant lie the cold machines inside a beating heart of steel in a world of circuitry it longs to be set free set free Dormant lie the cold machines inside a beating heart of steel in a world of circuitry it longs to be Dormant lie the cold machines inside a beating heart of steel in a world of circuitry it longs to be set free set

I met a girl, with eyes like burning fire, Her soul ablaze, her mind full of desire. But her heart, it filled with other things I couldn't go on, it didn't last long I met a girl, but she wore a disguise, Underneath a tangled web of lies. I was fooled by her deep blue eyes I should have stayed strong, it didn't last long No song shall flow from this spiteful tongue of mine For she's not worthy of being sung, a waste of time She is not worthy of a song, not a phrase, not a verse, none at all In a song she's a note played wrong In a realm of melody she's devoid of grace I met a girl, her soul was torn and stained, Her laughter drowned by scars deeply ingrained, I didn't know that she would be such a pain I guess I did wrong, it didn't last long. I met a girl, her laugh a dagger's sting, Her touch, a venomous serpent's fling, She played with minds, left my soul in ruin So I said "so long", it didn't last long No more shall she distort this melody I've found, So let the silence be her endless wall of sound. She is not worthy of a song, not a phrase, not a verse, none at all In a song she's a note played wrong In a realm of melody She is not worthy of a song, not a line, not a chorus, none at all In a song she's a note played wrong In a realm of melody she's devoid of grace I met a girl, I thought I had caught a break But turned out that she was a b--- She is not worthy of a song, not a phrase, not a verse, none at all In a song she's a note played wrong In a realm of melody She is not worthy of a song, not a word, not a line, none at all In a song she's a note played wrong In a realm of melody she's devoid of grace

At 17 I would "Bark At The Moon", there was nothing more for me to "Desire", "Miracle Man" got a hold of me, and I knew that I would be a "Dreamer". "I Don't Know" "Mr. Tinkertrain", but I wrote in "Diary Of A Madman", I went "Over The Mountain" again, to bear witness to a new "Revelation". In my room I felt serenity, while listening to blessed insanity Inside, inside my mind. I went and boarded the "Crazy Train", where "Mr. Crowley"'s working as the conductor, "I Don't Know" 'bout my "S.A.T.O."'s, but I've been "Flying High Again" ever after. "Mama, I'm Coming Home", I'm "Back On Earth", "Breakin' All The Rules", I am in "Denial". "Don't Blame Me" if you're "Facing Hell", I'm a "Junkie", I'm the "Killer Of Giants". In these moments there were you and me, joined together in my destiny An endless "Road To Nowhere", there's "No Easy Way Out", The "Fire In The Sky" is still "Alive" So much for pleasantries and "No More Tears", I have only "Time" for "11 Silver", "Demon Alcohol" destroying the youth, "Perry Mason" has become a "Hellraiser". "I Don't Wanna Stop", "I Just Want You", "Let Me Hear You Scream" for "Tattooed Dancer", "See You On The Other Side" if you will, 'Cause "Tonight" I am your "Secret Loser". In my room I felt serenity, in these moments there were you and me

Reign of illusion, it's just a cruel charade Beneath the surface, they keep us enslaved Illusion of freedom, it's a dangerous deceit Smoke and mirrors, at your own feet From the cradle to the grave, we're shackled and confined, Our desires are suppressed and dreams are undermined. Suffer in silence, no reason to defy Eyes wide open, it's a wicked lie Men of importance make us believe we're free They're painting a picture for all to see We are dancing to the hollow tune of our demise But we won't surrender, we will never compromise. Our life is a symphony to powers that be Now can you repeat after me: I am free? Greed and corruption, it's poisoning our fate Through this deception we navigate This is our anthem, our song that echoes far Men of importance, their reign will fall We're slaves to their agendas, merely pawns in their game Awaken to the truth and rise against the chains that tame Our life is a symphony to powers that be Now can you repeat after me: I am free? They sell us a false reality, the powers that be Now can you repeat after me: I am free? They preach unity, equality, and justice for all But behind the scenes, it's power and control that stand tall We're told to think and act on our own and as we please Now, can you repeat after me? I am free. Our life is a symphony to powers that be Now can you repeat after me: I am free? They sell us a false reality, the powers that be Now can you repeat after me: I am free?
