lyrics

A picture's worth a thousand words
Mine could write a thousand lifetimes
A canvas stained with oils
A canvas stained with blood
The muse was captivated
By the hedonistic lifestyle
Beauty is the only aspect of life worth pursuing

Making one wish is too good to be true
You never know what demons could be listening
The paintings a thing of beauty
But for him Time Stands Still

Prince Charming now a cruel moniker
It was too late to save her beauty
Now only lust shall suffice
And every poisonous vice

The painting now distorted
The muse can't be identified
He is taken over by anger
As the artist is horrified
Beseeching a prayer for salvation
Only to be met with accusation
And a knife over again
Destroying multiple lives

The paintings now a horrid manifestation
Yet for him Time Stands Still

Living a life of vanity
Led to an unfulfilled life
This mortal shells pulchritude
Only hides what the painting now parades

Making one wish is too good to be true
You never know what demons could be listening
The paintings now with a knife in its heart
And for him Time no longer Stands Still
