I want to paint the most horrific image And act out the most tragic play Fill a canvas full of brush strokes using only shades of grey I want to master feeling hurt and shame Blur the line between truth and lies And I know that I could do it all, if only I could see me thru your eyes Were I truly the monster you'd have me be, I'd never squint again I could gaze upon the nighttime sky and pluck the stars out one by one Cloak the world in eternal darkness, draping my veil over the sun Inanity is all the world would know and chaos would prevail I am a smiling master of deception, convincing the whole world that I am wise At least that is how it would appear, if only I could see me thru your eyes But no matter, as the world's not ready; to accept me as I am So cross your fingers, or hope or pray - for your hurt and pain to subside The greatest blessing that you will ever know, will be the ending of this ride For now, close your eyes and try to think of me in a more becoming light Hold onto that image as tight as you can, dry your tears and hush your cries Enjoy this momentary bliss, because I'll never see me thru your eyes |
