Tattered Work of Art
Acrylic running through my veins
Cling on every word you say
And stroke by stroke I start to see the truth
I dot your I's and cross your T's
You've lost pigment in your cheek
This is my last painting for you
Oh, I know something's wrong
When your pastel tears
Rain down for too long
Paint your name in blood
It's you who drew the flood
Outline my scars
My tattered work of art
I trace the depths of your dismay
A gallery of lies at play
I dab and dab but the gray is peeking through
Mouth taped shut, have you no words?
The colors warp, my stomach churns
The canvas for my emotions
Reeks of chemicals and potions
Oh, I know something's wrong
When your pastel tears
Rain down for too long
Paint your name in blood
It's you who drew the flood
Outline my scars
My tattered work of art
Mural of my pain
I punch a hole right through
Cause I can paint another picture with
Or without you
Paint your name in blood
It's you who drew the flood
Fill in my scars
Mend my broken heart
Cling on every word you say
And stroke by stroke I start to see the truth
I dot your I's and cross your T's
You've lost pigment in your cheek
This is my last painting for you
Oh, I know something's wrong
When your pastel tears
Rain down for too long
Paint your name in blood
It's you who drew the flood
Outline my scars
My tattered work of art
I trace the depths of your dismay
A gallery of lies at play
I dab and dab but the gray is peeking through
Mouth taped shut, have you no words?
The colors warp, my stomach churns
The canvas for my emotions
Reeks of chemicals and potions
Oh, I know something's wrong
When your pastel tears
Rain down for too long
Paint your name in blood
It's you who drew the flood
Outline my scars
My tattered work of art
Mural of my pain
I punch a hole right through
Cause I can paint another picture with
Or without you
Paint your name in blood
It's you who drew the flood
Fill in my scars
Mend my broken heart
