lyrics

Her eyes as blank as canvasses waiting for the paint
Sky blue or sunset red she's waiting patient as a saint
To be locked into a corner where the tears fall warm and clear
He says "There has to be an ending to whatever's forming here
And you will see
What it truly takes to be truly free
And honestly, there are far worse fates than giving up and surrendering"
Colors cast lacquer locked evidence on her hands
As she sinks the world is rising; a revenant on the sand
By gravity and time she slides from one chamber to the next
Until the glass is filled and spills into the remainder again
Now she sees
What it truly takes to be truly free
And she agrees
There are far worse fates than giving up and surrendering
The night has passed the moon remains the painting is all done
The reds and blues are drying in the flaming morning sun
She sees his signature at the corner of the frame
And with a blood red stripe she paints a border over his name
Now she sees what it truly takes to be truly free
And she agrees there is no worse fate than giving up and surrendering
