作曲 : Abilities, Eyedea | |
I once met a man who trained himself not to dream | |
What he seems to have seen was a glimpse of everything | |
He's been painting pictures on canvas since age thirteen | |
And claims he only exists in the mind of a higher being | |
And I enjoy his work; mostly scenic landscapes | |
But each one is focused on an easel where the man paints himself painting himself | |
And all that's in his visual field | |
He said this was the only way he could make himself real | |
Ever since he could remember, he had one nightmare reoccur | |
But until about ten years ago, it didn't matter | |
It consisted of loud, distorted sounds echoing off the concrete | |
He ran on top of it in attempt to reach a ladder | |
Now sometimes, he'd get so close but never touch his destination | |
Which caused him much frustration 'cause he didn't know what it meant | |
And by the end of the dream, he saw the scene from a bird's eye | |
Only to witness his dead body laying on the cement | |
It was only to witness his dead body laying on the cement | |
At first it freaked him out, but after a while he grew content | |
So he thought, "It's just a dream," and kept living his life | |
Writing his soul on the canvas 'cause it sheds his planet light | |
And it goes on and on like space and time, ain't nothing odd | |
It's not that he didn't believe, he just didn't approve of God | |
His experience was one I couldn't comprehend | |
'Till I stopped being detective and listened to him as a friend | |
He said | |
[Chorus] | |
He once saw a painting that told his whole life story | |
It was then that he knew he was the art of divinity | |
He once saw a painting that told his whole life story | |
A brush stroke of the gods made him one note in their symphony | |
He once saw a painting that told his whole life story | |
He spoke for himself and not the rest of humanity | |
He once saw a painting that told his whole life story | |
And I realize that I'm not real | |
God just imagined me | |
It's like I said | |
About ten years ago, the event that changed his whole reality | |
Took place on his monthly trip to the local art gallery | |
It was there where he studied his contemporaries | |
And there where he nearly carried his sanity to a hole and buried it forever | |
It was a very mysterious day | |
The place was almost empty | |
And he got chills down his spine just being present in the scene | |
On the wall, there was a picture that looked familiar | |
And when he got close, his heart stopped | |
Cause he saw it was a painting of his dream | |
It was a painting of his dream | |
His body on a runway | |
By a ladder to an airplane with its propellers spinning | |
Which accounted for the loud noise | |
The match up was perfect | |
And that was the day he stopped believing in existing | |
He resented his creator | |
I mean, words can't explain | |
What must have went on in his brain while he stared into a frame | |
Of a work of art which he created and was at the same time | |
The mind can't handle that much, it's just insane | |
It's like reading a book where each words describe your thoughts | |
And in quotations, it reads whatever you say when you talk | |
You think it can't happen | |
But it did happen | |
I guess there's surprisingly wide cracks in each life's sidewalk | |
He stumbled upon an answer when he never had a question | |
And decided to stop dreaming to maintain his mental health | |
Now he hardly talks to people | |
Just stays in his basement | |
Writing infinity, by painting himself | |
Painting himself | |
This is a strange universe | |
Is it all just a blueprint? | |
In the real universe, is my consciousness useless? | |
Are we really something a higher intelligence made up? | |
A figment of imagination colored by a cosmic paintbrush? | |
Maybe all of our art creates the fate of other beings | |
Then every character in ever novel thinks it's alive and were just gods | |
Ruling blindly | |
Just a theory | |
I don't know what it means | |
But that's the story of the man who trained himself not to dream | |
[Chorus] | |
He once saw a paining that told his whole life story | |
He witnessed the paradox of the word "existing" | |
He once saw a painting that told his whole life story | |
He colored his world theirs, and concluded he wasn't living | |
He once saw a painting that told his whole life story | |
The hidden variable that all that is is art | |
And when I close my eyes, I see eternity as a story | |
A God imagined the God that imagined me | |
And I am God | |
And so on |
