An Autobiography In Vivid Color Pt. 1

Living in recession
It isolates the time that's past by
And it feels so long
I reach for that line I can't hold on
I can't hold on...

I can't see what lies beneath the words
Where have I been?
Where have I been?
Between what rests in my soul and what's given
It will never...
It will never weigh the truth

I WON'T GIVE UP!
THIS IS NOT WHERE I STOP!
THE TRUTH IT LIES AND THERE IS FAITH BEHIND THE FRAMES!

I have a lot riding on this
And I can't afford to give up now
The scene's repeating

I have a lot riding on this
And I can't afford to give up now
The scene's repeating
I WONT GIVE UP!
I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPING!

I have a lot riding on this
And I can't afford to give up now
The scene's repeating

I WONT GIVE UP!
I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT THERE IS NO ESCAPING!

An Autobiography In Vivid Color Pt. 2

And I told you once
And I'll tell you again
Secrets are kept by old men

And I told you once
And I told you then
When we survive, we only pretend

This is the golden rule:
Keep what you have, cause it's all we have left
