Dark pictures painted only red and black

Dark pictures painted only back to days when I saw light

Light behind the canvas shines, into my eyes the canvas shines, 

Light behind the canvas shines in my eyes



Take your painting knife to canvas

Scrape the paint that's dry and cracked, and chip 

Away this layman's art until you find a beating heart  (x2)



Dark pictures painted only black and blue

Dark pictures painted only back to days when I saw you

Now what light will catch my eye

And through the dark your light shines

Light behind your canvas shines in my eyes

We know what's right

We try

We fight

You know we're dry inside
