(All lyrics written by Terrible Terrors) [Intro] [Breakdown] [Verse] What was it that I saw again? An image frozen in place It reminded me of childhood An unfamiliar young face I felt drawn into it's beauty Like a memory far away Pulled by a strange hidden force Softly begging me just to stay Is it a secret window Hiding a frail, and fragile smile It warms and welcomes me in Inviting me to stay a while [Chorus] He said, The picture hanging on the wall Will only bring you pain. Can you hide behind the panes of the glass As their life begins to wane? There's only so much left in this world No matter what they will say So make sure you enjoy that portrait sir You only have one life Mr. Gray [Instrumental] [Verse] I could feel time slipping away Staring into that visage Not knowing if it's day or night My mind stuck in that image While years go by many lives fade Yet my life still carries on Can i find only it's beauty That my life relies upon I wish that I will not grow old Only this image will age I thank you for this gift my friend My time left locked in this cage [Chorus] He said, The picture hanging on the wall Will only bring you pain. Can you hide behind the panes of the glass As their life begins to wane? There's only so much left in this world No matter what they will say So make sure you enjoy that portrait sir You only have one life Mr. Gray [Breakdown] [Bridge] Why must you argue with me? Can't you see I've surpassed death? Only the painting of me my friend Ages with the last of every breath [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] So what of life and love? Who really needs that chain? As long as I can live forever I will never have that pain Do you think its not your own? Just look at your name you signed While the portrait begins to fade I will last till the end of time [Verse] Was my life really worth it all? Did I cause them that much pain? Can I live with these lies again? My resolve is so strained So I'll take this knife in my hand And carve out the heart that I lost No one will remember my name Need to pay this fucking cost Let them see I'm dead and gone The price I'm now forced to pay Forever lost to the end of time The portrait of Dorian Gray [Chorus] He said, The picture hanging on the wall Will only bring you pain. Can you hide behind the panes of the glass As their life begins to wane? There's only so much left in this world No matter what they will say So make sure you enjoy that portrait sir You only have one life Mr. Gray [Outro] [Hook] YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE MR GRAY YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE MR GRAY YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE MR GRAY
