Painted away the sun For the picture I'd become Color the sound of thunder in the distance A lonely sky Ghosts were giving chase And the brush revealed your face And then I mixed the pigments up With venom and I'm a lonely god Who can't explain Colliding characters But from a bird's eye point of view Well, all the world is Green and gold and grey to blue
Painted a rising sun And the clouds did come undone Artificial thunder (artificial thunder) in the distance The sirens cry Here to take my place With a mirror for a face Last leg of the feedback loop For devils and gods to even odds And break away
Here we go 'round the bend Through the orbit once again From a fate that we cannot defend This little boy Renews the promise of a man For the future is ours to command
I'm dreaming on borrowed time And I don't want to wake Can't tell if I'm falling or I'm flying Another leap of faith Say goodbye and the sun goes down Watch you turn the bend But I remember the world is round You'll be back again I stoke the fire in a statue's heart Nobody notices The eyes of a ghost In a haunted work of art Watch it come alive It's alive... It's alive... It's alive...
