Painted
You want to paint a pretty picture
For all the world to see
To live in a world you've created
By your mindless dreams
But in your sleep you've forgotten
The truth behind your eyes
The darker part of all those secrets
Kindled by your lies
It's too late you've made mistakes
I know you all too well
What you are is a fake
A fake boiling spells
You dip the brush to get a rush
And fade all the proof
You paint obscure as that's your cure
Attempt to hide the truth
You want to paint a pretty picture
For all the world to see
Then you could be as you want
Hidden in your dreams
But in your sleep you've forgotten
What's really behind your eyes
The paint you use is short of pure
It's tainted by your lies
It's too late, you've made mistakes
I know you all too well
What you are is a fake
Your integrity's gone to hell
You will never be the one
that could hide from us what's true
Your words come fast, but we see past
Picture painted you
For all the world to see
To live in a world you've created
By your mindless dreams
But in your sleep you've forgotten
The truth behind your eyes
The darker part of all those secrets
Kindled by your lies
It's too late you've made mistakes
I know you all too well
What you are is a fake
A fake boiling spells
You dip the brush to get a rush
And fade all the proof
You paint obscure as that's your cure
Attempt to hide the truth
You want to paint a pretty picture
For all the world to see
Then you could be as you want
Hidden in your dreams
But in your sleep you've forgotten
What's really behind your eyes
The paint you use is short of pure
It's tainted by your lies
It's too late, you've made mistakes
I know you all too well
What you are is a fake
Your integrity's gone to hell
You will never be the one
that could hide from us what's true
Your words come fast, but we see past
Picture painted you
