Dead Man on Display

I was living so out of control

Like I was immortal

No man of mercy

Couldn't understand

Always raise the way

Eternally comes 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 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
