Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Velvet ropes are tied I keep the ghost inside Halogen lights go dim I touch the canvas rim White gloves hide my skin Let the ritual begin Silence is a heavy cloak Until the frames are broke [Pre-Chorus] Click-clack goes the key Set the shadows free Typewriter tapping the beat Underneath my tired feet Ribbon ink starts to bleed Sowing every surreal seed [Chorus] Breathe on the oil and lead Wake up the painted dead In A-flat minor I weep While the city is asleep I am the keeper of lines Trapped in these gilded designs Longing for color to run Brighter than any real sun [Post-Chorus] Watch the clocks start to melt Feeling what Magritte felt Is it a pipe or a lie? Clouds in a giant blue eye [Verse] Harpsichord starts to trill Nothing is standing still Hammered dulcimer rings Bird with the leafy wings I am the curator’s ghost To the strange I am the host Polished floors turn to sand In this desert of the hand [Breakdown] Shift the tone Leave the known A-flat major takes the throne Tempo climbing high Watch the canvas fly [Bridge] I am stepping through the frame I have forgotten my name Gravity is just a choice Hear my operatic voice Gold is glowing in my veins Breaking all the static chains Ecstasy in every stroke Reality was just a joke [Chorus] Breathe on the oil and lead Wake up the painted dead In A-flat major I soar I don't need the museum floor I am the master of light Dancing through the velvet night Colors are bleeding so free Finally looking at me [Hook] It’s a figment In the pigment Pure alignment No confinement [Verse] The morning light is a threat I haven't left them yet Brushstrokes start to freeze Back to my jingling keys But my heart is stained blue With a dream that is true I lock the heavy oak door Until I breathe once more [Post-Chorus] Watch the clocks start to melt Feeling what Magritte felt Is it a pipe or a lie? Clouds in a giant blue eye [Outro]
