Paint Me

Paint me lifeless grey
For I have lost a friend today
To desperate selfishness
And so I will regret
Something more disturbing
Than all my words can say
Black and white cannot explain
So paint me lifeless grey

Paint me darkest black
Tightened ropes will never slack
To free the chosen few
Or change my charcoaled hue
I may be color coded
But that won't hide the fact
That I'm not shades of lifeless grey
I'm painted darkest black

Well, it's just about that time of year
When we will lose somebody dear
Is that a funeral march I hear?
Well, it's just about that time of year

Paint me burning red
All the things he did and said
Now I feel ashamed
I thought it was a game
I will not question no lies
Or justify the dead
I only want to free myself
From all this burning red

Well, it's just about that time of year
When we will lose somebody dear
Is that a funeral march I hear?
It's just about that time of year

Paint me, paint me
Paint me, paint me
Paint me, paint me
Paint me, paint me
Paint me, paint me
Paint me, paint me
Paint me, paint me
