Matt Pless - Mad Child's Lament lyrics

Charcoal lines tracing time Background of a sketchbook life Hides inside the prison of her mind Rainbow hair and vibrant lips The devil twists her fingertips Scorns the angel kiss she left behind She catches all the swirling colors from the afterglow And paints herself into a corner then she calls it home She says when we're together that we're better off alone But then she draws the lines and calls me to her bed And a sea of satin thread where the truth is left unsaid Yes, I think I made you up inside my head Razor tongue, a warm embrace Shades of guilt across her face Vanishes without a trace again She lies awake and talks to ghosts Whispers secrets through the smoke Cause all she ever wanted was a friend She dances with the shadows of the lovers from her past She drags her pawns along the lonely chessboard made of gla** She runs away from everything cause nothing good can last And then she shuts her eyes and all the world drops still And the tears were finely shed on a canvas washed in red Yes, I think I made you up inside my head Winter weaves its cloak of frozen gray Spring has never seemed so far away You know how to hurt me so more than anyone I know Bruised and broken hoping you will stay You opened up a window and you blindly closed the door Now everything is hollow where the silent lions roar There's nothing in here moving, I can't feel you anymore I should have tried to catch a comet's tail instead Cause I may have been misled by the image I was fed Yes, I think I made you up inside my head Should have tried to catch a comet's tail instead Should have tried to catch a comet's tail instead
