A canvas starts in white like
The waiting room, on the other side
With vision painted in red
And ashes on my legs
I crumbled at the sound of
The unexpected

I saw your face in mine again
Avoiding sleep I'm wearing thin
But in my dreams you don't recognize me
I'm choking down my medicine
To try to see where heaven is
But I'll remain in these white walls
You left me in

Lost in the wake of your absence
Try to forget all that's happened
(But I succumb)
The dark nights feel everlasting
I need a distraction but paint dries faster
Than a wound can heal

I saw your face in mine again
Avoiding sleep I'm wearing thin
But in my dreams you don't recognize me
I'm choking down my medicine
To try to see where heaven is
But I'll remain in these white walls
You left me in

And I will never forget
The moment your spirit left
My mind still trapped in the room
Where they told me of your death
Now there's an unfinished painting
But a promise I've kept
One day I'll pick up the brush
And make myself whole again

(I saw your face in mine again
Avoiding sleep I'm wearing thin)
But in my dreams you don't recognize me
I'm choking down my medicine
To try to see where heaven is
But I'll remain in these white walls
You left me in

I saw your face in mine again
Avoiding sleep I'm wearing thin
I see you in my dreams now you recognize me
I'm choking up my medicine
I tried to see where heaven is
But I'll remain in these white walls
You left me in
