[Verse 1]
Painted away the sun
For the picture I'd become
Color the sound of thunder in the distance
A lonely sky
Ghosts were giving chase
And the brush revealed your face
And then I mixed the pigments up
With venom and I'm a lonely god
Who can't explain
Colliding characters
But from a bird's eye point of view
Well, all the world is
Green and gold and grey to blue
[Refrain]
Brightness falling from the ashes crawling
[Chorus]
It's alive… It's alive… It's alive…
Oh, it's alive…
[Verse 2]
Painted a rising sun
And the clouds did come undone
Artificial thunder (artificial thunder) in the distance
The sirens cry
Here to take my place
With a mirror for a face
Last leg of the feedback loop
For devils and gods to even odds
And break away
[Refrain]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Here we go 'round the bend
Through the orbit once again
From a fate that we cannot defend
This little boy
Renews the promise of a man
For the future is ours to command
[Outro]
I'm dreaming on borrowed time
And I don't want to wake
Can't tell if I'm falling or I'm flying
Another leap of faith
Say goodbye and the sun goes down
Watch you turn the bend
But I remember the world is round
You'll be back again
I stoke the fire in a statue's heart
Nobody notices
The eyes of a ghost
In a haunted work of art
Watch it come alive
It's alive… It's alive…
Oh living it's alive…
