Deadman On Display

I was living so out of control
Like I was immortal
No man of mercy
Couldn’t understand
Always wasting away
Eternally, through the fire

In the end there’ll be resolution
One’s confined by their own conclusions
No forgiveness for sins we can’t explain
So one sided

Paintings in the gallery of life
Passing before my eyes
Moments we caught in frames
Are all that remain
Dead Man on Display

In the mirror all that I can see
Are the eyes of a stranger
Just staring back and assessing me
Then I fall to the ground in agony
I surrender

They remember a past existence
All was new and the end was distant
Saw me cower with no persistence
Now I'm only a shell

Paintings in the gallery of life
Passing by before my eyes
Moments we caught in frames
Are all that remain
Dead Man on Display

We are only portraits on a wall
Nothing’s forever, nothing’s forever

Paintings in the gallery of life
Passing before my eyes
Moments we caught in frames
And all that remains
Is the memory

God have mercy, I have lost my way
Nothing can bring me back
I must accept my fate
For now I’ve become
A Dead Man on Display!
