Museum Lyrics

i am an artist
i won't crawl
i'll paint a picture of my heart
and hang it on a wall
it's my sweet release
it's my masterpiece
hanging on a wall in a museum
you can hurt me
but i'll fight back
i'll rearrange the shadows and the light
til the colors turn to black
til my broken heart
is a work of art
hanging on a wall in a museum
and i'll paint the golden summers
and i'll paint the starry nights
and i'll paint the b***** battles
and the refuse of the fight
like a message in a bottle
like a ghost beyond the grave
you're looking for some meaning
but it's my life i'm trying to save
i am a stranger
to myself
not living breathing flesh and blood
but dust upon a shelf
it's my joy and my strife
it's my lot in life
to be hanging on a wall in a museum
