Life is a Canvas Lyrics

I need it to be true

That life is a canvas

And not just hell I'm going through

And all of this darkness

Is not a part of me,

Just texture depth and poetry,

I need it to be true

I need it to be you

You put me in trouble

First day we met

Surrounded by darkness

Bible Belt around my neck

You told me I was special

You told me I was loved

But the house is collapsing

And starting to flood

You put into darkness

First day the light

Pulled it all together

Made abyss into life

Made in your image

Before there was blight

Now wars are raging outside

And in my mind

Tell me there a point

To this

Tell me there's a point

I'm standing before a canvas

Pain on my brush

Creating for tomorrow

What light I must

Believe me I am trying

To leave joy before dying

And I'm believing that

There's light brand new

So I put it on the paper

I scream out your name

I type it out like scripture

I draw with the flames

Cause it's hard to see it now

When it's just black on black

But I'm beginning to find some color

I'm starting to bring me back

So I'm believing it is you

Telling me to make this

Telling me to create

Honest and shameless

I may be breaking now

And I know it won't be painless

But the shadows prove the light

And there's still color in the darkness

So tell me there's a point to this

Tell me there's a point

I need it to be true

That life is a canvas

And not just hell I'm going through

And all of this darkness

Is not a part of me

Just texture depth and poetry

I need it to be true

I need it to be you
