our eternal sleep - the gallery of ghosts lyrics
hung me high on a gallery wall
said i was brilliant, admired by all
framed in gold with a flattering light
but under the varnish, i’m losing the fight
a masterpiece, they claimed with pride
but they never looked past the oils i hide
the colors are bleeding, the edges decay
and no one restores what they’d rather betray
smile for the critics, darling don’t show the cracks
pretend you’re eternal, despite all the attacks
i’m buried in silence that’s cruelly designed
a ghost in a gallery, stuck in rewind
brushstrokes of sorrow, shadows that stain
they loved me the most when i looked like their pain
so here i dissolve, in sepia tears
cracks in the canvas, framed by my fears
oh, they gasped at my agony “such artful despair!”
like tragedy’s holy if it hangs in the air
but i’m fading fast, in this haunted display
a relic of someone who’s rotting away
you swore i’d be timeless, a portrait of grace
but i’m just a mirror you’re scared to face
aged by the silence, marred by neglect
a painting forgotten, what did you expect?
they whisper in hush tones, “a g+nius, a shame,”
while watching me blister and crumble in frame
i’m buried in silence that’s cruelly designed
a ghost in a gallery, stuck in rewind
brushstrokes of sorrow, shadows that stain
they loved me the most when i looked like their pain
so here i dissolve, in sepia tears
cracks in the canvas, framed by my fears
strip me down, layer by layer
find all the secrets they wouldn’t dare
under the pigment, under the gloss
is just a soul choking on loss
tell me, was i art, or was i your excuse?
a shrine for your sadness, how quaint, how profuse!
a ruin in rapture, hung up for display…
but i was alive once and you watched me decay
i’m buried in silence that’s cruelly designed
a lie on the canvas you swore was divine
brushstrokes of sorrow, signatures fade
they kissed all the flaws they themselves had made
so here i remain, with nothing but years
cracks in the canvas, painted in tears
so hang me straight, and dim the light…
decay looks best when out of sight
