Witness - Canvas Stays Blank lyrics

(Verse 1) It's just a snowstorm, right? Just another night Just another life Just another friend That went to walk on thin ice I know it ain't my place To make these kind of statements But lately you've been distant And isn't transportation That's been making it a problem I find it odd when you don't return my calls But, maybe you've forgot them I'll give you that But try to give me this I bet your fingertips are numb And it isn't even winter, kid It might be insignifigant But maybe I'm just worried Cause you're getting close to thirty And you haven't left Jersey, once I tried to chalk on the board as just a phase But the dust is getting thicker And the pictures getting vague with age Like, where you stayin? How are you affording this? You used to be an artist Show me what your self portrait is Ex-friends Got alot in the bank I want to know the reason That your canva** stays blank (Chorus) Take another razor Take another mirror Take another year And I will probably stop counting (x4) (Verse 2) Don't get it twisted This ain't no intervention The world is just a stage And maybe yours is Trenton It's just a shame That the actors are anonymous And only those you broke a promise with Are in the audience It's probably obvious That I'm feeling kind of guilty It k**s me that I neglected this To get my kicks in Philly Still, we Gotta talk, we Should grab some coffee And catch up on the last four years That you lost me to Cylindrical dollar bills that never make change And just the other day I heard you're taking it in vein? I complain because you used to paint the world a little brighter You used to be inspired You used to be a writer And I knew about the fire Way before it burned the bridges But I guess that it was something That I thought that you'd extinguish I've got a picture of a face I used to know So who's the person in the mirror When you scrape away the snow? (Chorus) Take another razor Take another mirror Take another year And I will probably stop counting (x4) (Verse 3) Hold up k** the conjecture I didn't come to lecture you I came to get the truth And understand you better Through the pleasures you indulge in The world that you've frozen The doors that you closed Since your souls been snowed in This skins grown thin From over exposure To elements like yours And keeping my composure when I need closure You never sober enough To even keep this boat Afloat in the flood Water is tepid,test it,settle and wet your feet I bet if you kept that head beneath another second you would sink Or maybe you have, maybe you're rock bottom And you only got a problem when you got the time to think So, I'll be the kite without a string in your tempest And you'll be the crack in this terra cotta friendship And, that's how we'll end it Confusion and angst While you're wandering a city Where the canvas stays blank, like (Chorus) Take another razor Take another mirror Take another year And I will probably stop counting (x4)
