Blank Canvas

(Verse 1)
Obsessed with motivation and what it means to pursure it
You're created by your dreams, not to chase it is stupid
We're given blank canvases, yet those who paint are "foolish"?
Negativity is harnessed by the vultures that are ruthless
Circling, determined to attack under the blue sky
Half of 'em are certain that your blood is spilling tonight
But do not give in because you're titled "too nice"
You will change the outcome, and not just when the mood strikes
I want you to step into the state my mind is in
Which was activated by some memories and Heineken
Regardless of the problem, I'll take a sword to the leviathan
Determination's in my blood, like oxygen or niacin
I used to believe in destiny and fate
And that great things come to the people who can wait
But mistakes were made, and my energy was drained
Waiting for a better life to be served upon a silver plate

(Chorus)
Looking at a blank canvas, your palette is your soul
It's finally time to paint your picture and to gain control
If you don't step up, another one will play your role
Do not be replaced, the stress will take its toll
Looking at a blank canvas, your palette is your soul
It's finally time to paint your picture and to gain control
If you don't step up, another one will play your role
Do not be replaced, the stress will take its toll

(Verse 2)
Don't wait for what you want, go out and fucking earn it
Your patience only brings invalidation to your surface
Which is coulded by the poison when you think you're worthless
And it switched up your appearance just to mirror another person
Wisdom comes from age, and others' own mistakes
Everybody feels alone when they suffer pain
Just listen to yourself, who gives a fuck what others say
Build yourself up until you're someone you can praise
Although it sounds simple, it takes a lot of work
Rebuilding foundations is a project you will curse
You can fake it till you make it, but the product of it's worse
It's and arduous task, but I promise you this first
When you rise up, you'll feel as if you're thriving in the spotlight
Finally seeing straight, when you lived your life as cross-eyed
Your passion is your drive when you're guided by the starlight
Cleansed of all calamity, finally, it's all right

(Chorus)
Looking at a blank canvas, your palette is your soul
It's finally time to paint your picture and to gain control
If you don't step up, another one will play your role
Do not be replaced, the stress will take its toll
Looking at a blank canvas, your palette is your soul
It's finally time to paint your picture and to gain control
If you don't step up, another one will play your role
Do not be replaced, the stress will take its toll
