Van Gogh
It's so priceless this tragedy I feel
I am weightless in my drunken state
The green fairy seduced me twice
Once in my hand, once in my mind
Oh, but you're so beautiful how could I ever lie to you?
How could I ever lie to you?
Was it the child, or was it me?
Who pulled the trigger, would you really want to know?
When you go down the rabbit hole, how far will you go?
Open your mind to ideas
Such things you should never know
Should never know
It's so priceless this tragedy I feel
I am weightless in my drunken state
The green fairy seduced me twice
Once in my hand, once in my mind
Oh, but you're so beautiful how could I ever lie to you?
Let's start at the beginning, back to where it all began
We find ourselves at the creation of an artistic mad man

A Shadow Between Two Lights
Don't know why I'm treated like a bastard son
I'm just a shadow between two lights
First born has died, my void in his place
Looking past me, my brother you see
Third born arrives
Now I'm just a...a shadow between two lights
The first born was stolen by God
The one in between, this one, left unseen
I am lost in, I am trapped in, a shadow between two lights
I remain, I remain a shadow
I remain a shadow between
Yet I remain a shadow between two lights

A Journey of Lost Souls

A Journey of Lost Souls
Searching, my purpose yet unknow
Lost, in their footsteps, I seek my identity
Enduring isolation as the coal embers burn
When will it end? A journey of lost souls
You have no faith
You're a hypocrite
You're a sycophant
Hear me preaching, like my father before me
Solitude [and fear] is needed to relate
You judge my faith for I, I live as the meek
When will it end? The journey of lost souls
I know what I'll be, proficient in artistry
I know what I'll be, prolific in artistry
I could be one of the greats
I will be one of the greats
If I just paint what I see
If I just paint what I see
This path, now chosen, let it guide me
My fervor be mighty
With pure intent
When will it end? A journey of lost souls
How will this end?

What shall I do? [What shall I do?]
This fateful night [This fateful night]
Blade in hand to sever, the sickness in my mind
If you leave me, I will inflict my savagery
Take this [take this], look after it
A souvenir of me [of me]
A memory to keep close [keep close]
[Sacrifice]
What have I done?
To sever my pain, flesh forever gone
My site of grace
My sacred place
My site of grace
Before my mind gets laid to waste
Lock my cell, toss away the key
To manifest my destiny
I have found my peace
My site of grace
My sacred place
My site of grace
My sacred place
A site of grace. My sacred place. This site of grace.
An asylum where I can create
[The colors are so much brighter at night]
[As the stars twinkle and then roll towards the crescent moon, like waves of the ocean cast upon the rocks in despair]
[I will capture this piece for the colors are there]
[They shine so bright, l believe I'll call it..."Starry Night"]
[This was the time of my life, I was prolific here]
[365 days and 180 paintings]
Lock my cell, toss away the key (repeat)
I have finally found my peace
Site of grace, my sacred place
This site of grace
A site of grace, my sacred place
Site of grace

The Menacing Sky
I've lost my mind a million times
When will I find my grand design?
The menacing sky (the menacing sky)
I look upon the menacing sky
Black wings unfold, obstruct the light
The menacing sky
The menacing sky

Theo
My brother, I've been lost without you
I need more of what you can provide for me
I am destitute
I'm out of canvas, I'm out of paint
It's getting close to the end
My demons are getting the best of me
I don't know how longer I will be
Theo, I need you
Please, I love you Theo
The sadness will last forever

Thirty Seven Years
Welcome, to my ending, the final chapter
I hope you can hear me, words lost upon you
Despair, tragedy, to be replaced
Nephew Vincent, a thing I cannot face
God, I feel like I will be joining you soon
To be afraid to fail, I'll be remembered some day
Standing in this meadow, cold iron in hand
I place the barrel right here, to put a hole in my side
Or was it the children playing with the revolver?
Each theory possible, who's to say what outcome took place?
I'm sick of being tired [tired]
I'm tired of being sick
God, I feel like I will be joining you soon
To be afraid to fail, I'll be remembered some day
Either way, I die in the end
In the end
End
End

"Johanna, it's Dr. Gachet, we see you are facing two devastating bereavements
First, we lost Vincent and now your husband Theo
What are you going to do?"
"I've been left with all of Vincent's artwork
All of it deemed worthless
I can publish the letters between Theo and Vincent for all to read
His artwork could be legendary
It could transcend time
I will show the world his greatness
For he is Vincent Van Gogh"
