[Verse] In a room with faded glory he finds colors on the wall Painting dreams so full of stories doesn't matter if they're small Locked away in his own castle fears and whispers take their toll With each brushstroke battling shadows trying hard to save his soul [Verse 2] In the glow of ancient pixels he escapes the world's disdain Virtual realms his safe asylum where he's free from all the pain Battling foes or solving puzzles he's a hero just for now Digital lands they keep him company while the lonely hours bow [Chorus] Pixels and paint they light the night He fights the dark with colors bright Afraid to fade without a trace In cyberspace he finds his place [Verse 3] Empty halls echo his whispers and each day just feels the same He wonders if they'll miss him or remember his own name Sketching love he once had tasted in colors bold yet dim Hope and heartache intermingle in every line and limb [Bridge] In the silence of the evening tears fall where memories lie He drowns the noise of isolation with art and screens that vie Searching for some comfort in the things that never speak Hoping someday someone else will find the beauty in his streak [Chorus] Pixels and paint they light the night He fights the dark with colors bright Afraid to fade without a trace In cyberspace he finds his place
