The Painting Lyrics

A darkened shadow lives with me

It's me that it sometimes pretends to be

He haunts me in the dead of night

Can't bear to look at it without a light

There's something strange about it's face

He looks dead and lost without a trace

Who is this boy that never sleeps?

He haunts me every night as evening creeps

Your eyes, they shine

And in my soul I've seen

You're on my mind, always

But the painting lies

Your grinning is not mine

Somehow I've to make me believe

I pass it every single day

I've tried to burn it, break, throw it away

But it's always there, it never leaves

I close my eyes and still my mind deceives

Your eyes, they shine

And in my soul I've seen

You're on my mind, always

But the painting lies

Your grinning is not mine

Somehow I've to make me believe
