So you think you see the
Picture?
Painted with the master's
Brush
But the colors
Fade to darkness
Just before
The final
Touch

Cause I tried to keep you from seeing
The deepest part of my soul that's bleeding
As the pendulum's slowly swaying
It's the life in our heart's decaying
It's such a beautiful tragedy
A fantasy of poison and pain
What you're seeing inside of me
Is something that you can't change

Don't follow me!
Many souls have been corrupted
So much lost in this embrace
Leaving nothing more than sorrow
In a life that's laid to waste
But you're reading a different chapter
I shouldn't be in the life you're after
Cause you're walking into the fire
You'll find out as the flames get higher

It's such a beautiful tragedy
A fantasy of poison and pain
What you're seeing inside of me
Is something that you can't change

Don't follow me!
Back off!
Misleading
Deceveing
This life is unfeeling
Misleading
Deceveing
This life is
Unfeeling

There comes to day
When they'll take this life
And wipe it all away
Then you will see
Why I intended to stay
And this dismay
Will be the reason why you will remain
There is no pain

It's such a beautiful tragedy
A fantasy of poison and pain
What you're seeing inside of me
Is something that you can't change
Don't follow me!
