Muted Circus - You're on the Wall Lyrics

I'm inside a puzzle
An Escher relief
Dark shades of grief
Flick black and blue

You're the red hues
That frame the yellow
Seen in long lines
You're steady hands produced

You're not here
You're not here
You're not here
You're on the wall

I'm blank paper
You've prepped for painting
Empty in waiting
A square abyss

No scheme of colors
Smeared on a palette
No pencil sketches
Instructionless

You're not here
You're not here
You're not here
You're on the wall

When I stare
Into your drawings
I see your eyes
Reflected from the past

Through the glass
Refracted feelings
Presence and absence
Both

Crumpled creases
Disjointed pieces
Where I fit
Only you knew

While a life
Once marked by yearning
Now a vacuum of paper left blank...

Cause you're not here
You're not here
You're not here
You're on the wall

I'm inside a puzzle
An Escher relief
Dark shades of grief
Flick black and blue

You're the red hues
That frame the yellow
Seen in long lines
You're steady hands produced
