Fence

I fell 20 feet onto a fence.

The spike hit me and pierced through my head.

Hanging there I thought I was dead.

Ive just painted a white fence red.

Tried to cry but I could not speak

Lost my tongue and cut through my cheek

Now paragraphs that I've left unsaid

I've just painted a white fence red

(Chorus)

Life is a canvas

I've fallen on it

Had so many choices but always been split

(In two)

To Become my own paintbrush

And make my own art

Painted with love and straight from the heart.

As i hang with my dangling legs

And my jaw dropped down past my neck

The flailing begins to die down.

I've just painted a white fence red

Pedestrian perception In human discourse

Of what they must do With a half living corpse.

Loosened of what once was tense

I've just painted a white fence red

(Bridge)

For I know the sirens

They sing a song.

And the lights catch my eyes but the colour is gone.

The time that they've taken

Was more than the wait

And the sirens their song

Was too little too late.

(Chorus)

Life is a canvas

And I've made my piece

I made all my choices, though the dreams don't come true.

I am my own paintbrush

I've made my art read

And the past is applied

To a there once white fence.
