Your life is Your Masterpiece. (song lyric)

MASTERPIECE


I know you are an artist
That your fingers are inspired.
Your strokes pulse with madness
and shoot lightning bolts and fire
Your portraits and landscapes. They dance before our eyes,
starve the doubt and feed the faith
for those who can’t decide.

It’s your life, your masterpiece. X 4
your canvas, your colours, for you to paint.
it’s your life, your masterpiece
For you to live – for you to create.

I was told you had a story
Good enough to raise the veil
And lift the lie beyond the glory
Show the arse behind the tail.
I know you are a genius,
have nothing left to learn
you know the bridges left to cross
And the ones that you can burn.

It’s your life, your masterpiece. X 4

If you only ever draw after staring at the sun
You’ll be blinded by the rays won’t see what you’ve done.
So when that sun is sinking; lines fade & colours run
You should look around, not look down the barrel of a gun.
SOLO
You’ve taken all my gold,
wrung me dry of tears,
tore the spirit from my soul
and realized my fears.
You kick me in the misters,
you beat me blue & black
I gave you all those kids
now you wanna give’m back!
It’s my life, my masterpiece. X 3 It’s my life!
