Brush of Shadows

[Verse] In a room so dark and dreary A paintbrush sits so still Dipping into ink like midnight Whispers promise a thrill [Verse 2] Every stroke brings life to canvas Shapes begin to twist and turn Colors blend in eerie dances Watch as fiction starts to burn [Chorus] Brush of shadows strokes so light Bringing dreams and fears to night Shape the dark with every line Nightmares breach the thin divide [Verse 3] Creatures crawling from the corner Figures stepping out of bounds Eyes that pierce right through your slumber Making eerie Haunting sounds [Bridge] Paint the joy or paint the horror Balance teeters on the edge Too much use and you can falter Dreams and nightmares thinly wedged [Verse 4] Dandy paints with crooked fingers Nightmares hiding in his grin Each creation only lingers Till reality grows thin
