The Painter & the Patient Lyrics

I felt the walls break down as the wind swept me away

Now I find myself on the ground in a foreign but strangely familiar place

Where every flower and every tree, every yellow and every green

Look so much brighter to me

The faces here have blurred themselves out

Motionless in a peaceful rest

When I looked at them I thought I saw doubt

But saw only what I reflect

The ocean here stretches miles deep

Like the thoughts of a turbulent mind

The fields are soft enough for endless sleep

I'd never have to wake on the other side

A world that lives without time

Paints the path to where I want to be

Mountains and rivers stand sublime

In this refuge from reality

But from beyond the canvas I hear cries

From a world that still needs me

I pray to the artist that I'll be fine

'Cause I know I have to leave
