Heartwork Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Works of art, painted black
Magniloquent, bleeding dark
Monotonous palate, murky spectrum
Grimly unlimited
Food for thought, so prolific
In contrasting shades forcely fed
Abstraction, so choking
So provocative
[Chorus]
A canvas to paint
To degenerate
Dark reflections
Degeneration
A canvas to paint
To denigrate
Dark reflections
Of dark foul light
[Verse 2]
Profound, aesthetic beauty
Or shaded, sensary corruption
Perceptions, shattered
Splintered, mirroring
In deft taints, diluted, tinted
Spelt out, in impaired colour
Denigrating, going to paints the pain
Not a pretty picture
[Chorus]
A canvas to paint
To degenerate
Dark reflections
Degeneration
A canvas to paint
To denigrate
Dark reflections
Of dark foul
[Verse 3]
Works of heart bleeding dark
Black, magniloquent art
Monotonous palate
Murky spectrum
Grimly unlimited
Prolific food for thought
Contrasting, fed with force
Abstraction, so choking
So provocative
[Bridge]
Bleeding works of art
Seething work so dark
Searing words from the heart
[Chorus]
A canvas to paint
To degenerate
Dark reflections
Degeneration
A canvas to paint
To denigrate
Dark reflections
Of dark foul
A canvas to paint
To degenerate
Dark reflections
Degeneration
A canvas to paint
To denigrate
Dark reflections
Of dark foul light
