Lyrics Paint A Picture - Eric Cohen

Let's paint a picture
A Picasso
Of everything I see
Or better yet a Rembrandt
Of the things inside of me
All the guilt and all the shame
All the grieving all the pain
Enough to drive a man insane
It's enough to drive a man insane

Searching through the memories
Plotting on my enemies
Make 'em feel the pain I felt
The darkness deep inside of me
Wanna see
Wanna be
Send 'em to eternity
Make em flee
Make em bleed
Anger got a hold of me

Why am I so sick inside
Looked alive
But tried to hide
Detrimental issues stirring
Suicide is on my mind

Planning out the grand design
Smiles that I hide behind
I agonize inside my mind
These thoughts I have are so maligned

Whoa now
Feeling this iniquity
Slow down
Amphetamines got hold of me
Making bad decisions
I been living on the fringes
Up too many days and I think I'm having visions

Let's Paint a Picture
Let's Paint a Picture
Let's Paint a Picture
Let's Paint a Picture

The brightness hits my Iris
As the light comes through the window blinds
Pulling me from blindness
Exposing truth upon my mind
Lifting me from mental illness
The world had me so confined
But breaking out of boxes
Feeling sharpened been refined

Freed me from the medications
All the lies that I was chasing
Like a pencil in your hands
My mistakes you were erasing
Not a moment that I suffered
In my life that you were wasting
Every detail every line
Your design a perfect painting

You made a masterpiece
You have the master keys
Unlocking an eternity
Of everlasting peace

Self portrait your perception
Designing your conception
Your making beauty no exception
Witnessing your soul's perfection

Every stroke and every line
A true sensation every time
Uniquely marked I been refined
Imago dei I'm your design

Made me in your image
You made me to be different
The clay up in the potter's hands
Shaped me with magnificence

Hold up
Giving me a vision
Spitting truth with such precision
Cutting you like an incision
Take the truth or leave it now
The choice is yours it's your decision
Step into your destiny
Away from lies and from division

Let's Paint a Picture
Let's Paint a Picture
Let's Paint a Picture
Let's Paint a Picture

Don't you see the picture
Read it in the scripture
The light inside it was dying
It barely had a flicker
Now burning bright
See the light
See the way it shimmers
Brighter than the sun
Hitting diamonds when they glimmer

Every cell inside me praises
You designed my DNA
So artistic with such passion
Painting natural like Monet
Made unique masters touch
Light me up I'm your display
Brought me from the darkness
Walking in the light of day

Send me to the nations
Set my course don't let me stray
Let this broken masterpiece
Show your Glory in every way
A walking exhibition
And it's your message I convey
Screaming to the heavens
Worshiping Your Holy Name

Let us paint upon the canvas
Giving light to once was blackness
Stroke of genius call it madness
The blinded ones grieve in sadness

Weighted down by all the lies
Spoken from the broken minds
Echoes from a broken past
Still explode like buried mines

Let go
Of all the lies and the deception
Grab the truth that's deep in you
Giving birth to new inception
Make em see
If they can't
Change their whole perception
Alive inside no longer dying
Was given resurrection
