Tema: A Bloody Canvas - Tekstovi Pesama

A Bloody Canvas

this portrait of our past fades ever slowlypainted
tainted by our own hands
a masterpeice now forgotten
our work of art
can you paint this shattered heart?
shades of red and gray line my heartstrings
but theyve snapped and i'll use them as a noose
an artists dream of beauty now realized
suicide
wrists bleed red to dry inblack
ike my paints have dried with time

artwork
my bloody canvas explains my life
read the tradgedy through the paint like a suicide note
mistaken as a masterpeice
thats not what i meant
my tears stain blue
my blood dries black
and yet you say wonderful
handmade by a broken heart
our work of art
call it modern, call it new
just say its the best youve ever seen
mistake my pain for a masterpieice
but just know the highest bidder will adore my blood at
night
i wont be around to see it

A Car Crash Caused By Karma

the sky was perfect on the night we metthunderstorms
seemed so far away
sunlight shining through my window
showed that I had no reason to be afraid
about the future and what we had in store
but now theres been an accident
our bodies contorted and distorted from the
brick walls that we blindly broke through
breaking eighty, I said you were always such a lady
you always left a mess, but I confess
I'll confess that this was my fault

So let's take it back to the beginning
when I said , 'hell, I can take this'
well, honestly I cant take this anymore
what happened to our perfect ending?
our blood-red love and broken bones
has a perfect way of blending with the asphalt
I'll confess that this was my fault
so let's take it back to the beginning
before our bodies lay bloody, bruised and broken
with no chance of recovery
now laying on the pavement, I turned my head
to see you laying there, motionless
emotionless...horror filled my eyes while I leaned over
your broken body and kissed you goodbye....

A Not So Perfect Prom Night

take the sunset and paint it with a darker shade of red
or maybe something elegant to match the color of your
blouse
so douse yourself in cheap perfume and lets sit alone in
your room with the lights turned down low
i know, i know,
things arent as perfect as they seem
what seems like artwork when its over was just a drunken
masterpeice

a desperate attempt at something beautiful,
well i had this down to a science baby but i failed at
chemistry so lie to me, lie to me, and tell me this was
perfect..
...you can joke about it aferwards
the one night you spent without words
you can joke about it with your friends
about the boy who only had his heart to spend
well i gave it to you for collaterall
but then you broke it on the wall...

All Ego's Aside

my eyes watch you ease your way to his sideslowly,
effortlessly placing a knife in myhand you, you never,
never broke the skin, it was me who held the blade as i
pushed it through my spine, and now i pull it from the
wound as it gasps for air, leaving me to wonder why do i
do this to myself, loving every second spent standing by
your side, this moment makes me feel alive yet the blood
still stains my hands, i cant stand to watch you watching
him, its not your fault for feeling strong for someone
else, its my fault for hoping to someday hold you hand,
your not to blame for my blood when i tear myself open
over and over again, you've had all my attention for
weeks now, but it loks like your attention has been
focused on him, lucky guy, you know how i feel and for
now i'll just watch you walk away with him, am i wasting
my time with these feelings? it felt so good to assume
you felt the same, heaven maybe, no more, my eyes wtached
you ease your way to his side, slowly, effortlessly
placing a knife in my hand, im so tired of stabbing
myself in the back with these feelings unreturned, its
not your fault, i just cant get over you and wake up from
a euphoric dream where we're walking hand in hand....your
beautiful in every way to me...i'm sorry...

Another Sleepless Night

somebody take a pictureI just want to stay this way
forever
live inside a picture frame and watch the world change
around me
I want to stay innocent and free
thats my philosophy
the world doesn't work that way you would always say
it takes you by the wrist and throws you in the mix of
what you never wanted to be
I never wanted to be

so now, im begging for this photo to be taken
begging to skip these choices that I'm making
can't you just let me be, can't you just let me breathe
but maybe this poetry can save me, this pen will be a
dagger in the back of my captives
as i run far, further away from my future
and hopefully closer to you
now as the reality begins to set it
the tears start to stream and as for my dreams, they mean
nothing anymore
i am nothing anymore
just another boy who should leave dreams for his sleep...

Barefoot

can you stand in the heat and not get burnt by the
streetcan you stand on your own and say that your not
alone
can you stand when i stare at your golden brown hair
can you stand how i write all these songs about you
(well is that alright. is that alright yeah)
i dont want you to worry, i just want you to care
if i stand by your side would you notice i'm there
my heart skips a beat when i notice your smile
when your eyes lock with mine it's like i'm walking on
air
oh how i loved it in the clouds with you...
...do you mind walking barefoot on a hot autumn day
do you mind how i struggle while i search for words to
say
do you mind rainy nights that i never spent with you
do you mind how all these songs have been written about
you
(is that alright, is that alright yeah)...

...i want you to want to be wanted by me
i want you to wonder about what we could be
(is that alright, is that alright yeah)
well i want you to want to want me too
well i want to be wonderful, wonderful like you
in truth i only really wanted to be wanted by you..
...would you walk barefoot down the boulevard
or lie topless in the lawn
no your not like that, and i think i like that
so i wrote you this song
well i want you to want to be wanted by me, well can i
be wonderful?
wonderful like you
in truth i only really wanted to be wanted by you
(is that alright, is that alright yeah

Astronomy Can Be Fun

Tonight, tonight I'll meet youUnderneath the stars...
I'll sing you something so beautiful
To spark the fireworks hidden behind your eyes
I'll sing you something short and sweet
To light the fire for your fuse
The sky will scream in reds and blues

I'll make tonight so beautiful
For its the night I'll say goodbye...
...isnt it pretty how the stars seem to streak together
tonight...
..well i found a new start and it shines brighter than
you, it lights my way through the dark, while i'm walking
alone you'll be the only star in my sky with that look in
your eyes, it will guide me home....
....and those nights in my arms prove that the first star
you see may not be a star, you were never my star it
seems....
i'll set my telescope to a peripheral view
so i can sit and wacth you and know you would shine so
bright...
...well heres a new star and it could shine brighter than
you, brighter than you...
...isnt it pretty how the stars seem to streak together
at night?

Broken Mirror Dreams

and oh my godthis stabbing feeling is killing me
up and down my spine, how can i ever say i'm fine?
my head begins to spin and my gut turned inside out and
now i'm spilling on the floor....
...this sick sick dream has been tearing at the seams of
my skull, tempting to tear it in two, and oh my god, im
in this state because of you, and you know i'd do
anything to stop the screaming in my skull, but my words
are few and the knife is dull....

....i need someone to save me, hold me and tell me it'll
be okay, i dont mind the bullshit i know you'll say, just
tell me you'll never leave my side, cuz i swear to god i
need a shadow now...
....(and oh my god) i cant breathe
(and oh my god) i cant sleep
(and oh my god) the pain creeps up my leg
(oh my god) i'll start to pray and i will beg
(and oh my god) for someone to save me...
...this sick twisted fantasy has torn into reality, i
cant dream without this sweat and those screams, and oh
my god, this bed will be my grave so someone please save
me now, save me please, i scare myself....

Blame The Doctor Not The Pills

this sickness seeps over every cell and every
porecreeping up and down my veins, silent murder
the face in the mirror shatterd when it fell
maybe im too far gone to tell, this is the end
all alone in my room with a crimson blade
its my private tomb in which i cannot be saved
but i wouldnt have it any other way...
...and with this lust for lacerations
i dont trust myself, and every night i'll erase the pain
with these pills that promise to take me away...

...so let me close my eyes and fade away
i'll compromise my life, my love
i put my faith in what i dont believe, in the clouds
above, soon i'll learn the truth behind the lies
will i ascend to the sky or remain in the ground?
well one things for sure, im not gonna stick around...
....and oh my god, this pills promised happiness, and oh
my god, i dont trust myself, oh my god, this pills
promised happiness, and oh my god, how can i trust
myself?...
....this sickness prevents me from sleep
i think i'm in too deep, i cant see my breath
oh my god i think i'm nearing death
petty perscriptions cant save me now
you cant save me now...

Emily

Your beautiful to me, EmilyI know you would never feel
the same things but im not here to pour my heart out or
whisper words to you
I just want to say your beautiful
Your amazing in so many ways
like a star shining bright in the sky i wish i could fly
to reach out and touch you
promise me you will never change
promise me you will never change
like a sun in the evening you set over everything and
leave me to wonder why the world must be this way forever

im not spilling out my guts for you to see
im only saying your everything that no one else could be
your beautiful, brilliant, and so much more
so much more
you shine brighter than the brightest star, just promise
me, promise me
to stay what you are
just stay what you are
your beautiful, brilliant and so much more
emily, oh emily, your beautiful to me
and i wrote this song for you
