A heart for you

By riCOCKulous

And I vanish
As I paint this canvas
Brushing the love with red blood
These are the paints of the saints
As I’m tainting, I’m fainting

All I wanted to do
Is paint a heart for you
But the paint smelled like lies
So I had to improvise

And I vanish
As I paint this canvas
Smudging the curves with dead nerves
And this is what I will do just for you
As I’m painting, I’m fainting

All I wanted to do
Is paint a heart for you
But the paint smelled like lies
So I had to improvise

And I vanish
Before this canvas
Bleeding out the luck of the fuck up
This is the worst of my curse
As you’re lying, I’m dying

Painting this heart for you…
