I Pictured It

(chorus)

Have you ever felt something you couldn't explain

No definition no name just a feeling

No definition no name

I looked at her she looked back at me

Her face looked different than I pictured it

And then there was me analyzing life more than I was living

Anything possible good I'll destroy before the chance was ever given

See if I never have anything I'll never have to lose anything

But then again if I never had anything worth losing

I guess I lost everything either way

You could say pain will become a result from both

So actually I'm giving in to the very thing that I fear the most

Losing it all everything completely unaware that a fear of failure

Was the one thing that was taking me there

Fear of life fear of love fear of man failure to relate

How I and God and His voice to me would even begin to translate

So I wait to escape this condition of rationalizing my own destruction

But I keep on listening to voices that don't deserve my discussion

(chorus)

She's an artist alright

Capable of the most abstract stuff imaginable

And it's made personal for me

See she uses my mind as the canvas to create her manipulated perspectives on life

So I'm the only one that can even see what I see

Until the art hits the heart and begins to take an outward expression

Kind of like an involuntary confession of the soul

And who's in control

And how many minds have been painted by the hands of crafty irrationality

And have different paintings of reality hanging on the walls in a fictional gallery

(chorus)

Actions speak louder than words

And I've come to find that I've been building on a design

That could only be found in my mind

Blind to the force behind what caused my accuracy to be tainted

Cuz my mind was smart enough to manipulate itself

But not smart enough to figure out it was being manipulated

(chorus)
