Blank Canvas

Our hungry souls desired long before the umbilical remnant dissolved

From the beginning, we desired death

We flirted with it, took it to dinner

Because there's a difference between white walls and a empty sheet of paper

You can decorate with pictures, scribble down words

But the first mistake, the first fake heart, the first ride, the first scar

Will never disappear

It lasts forever

You may disagree, but I know better

None of us were born with a blank canvas

The memories were simply erased

So we wouldn't go crazy

But some of us did anyway
