(hold your breath…) I feel the colors start to break. Red turns black around my eyes, Every truth becomes a lie. Blue is drowning in my chest, Hope keeps choking on what’s left. Yellow’s rusted into fear, Green just vanishes from here. All these shades are tearing skin — Where do I end and you begin? I collapse in color, Bleeding out the spectrum you left inside. Every shade grows darker, When the world keeps draining the light from my eyes. Paint me wrong, I’ll peel it away — Your masterpiece starts to decay. Nothing vibrant in me now. Purple screams through every vein, Memories sharpen into pain. White is bleaching out my name, Gray just numbs me all the same. Black takes over everything — The palette dies where love had been. All these shades are tearing skin — Where do I end and you begin? I collapse in color, Bleeding out the spectrum you left inside. Every shade grows darker, When the world keeps draining the light from my eyes. Paint me wrong, I’ll peel it away — Your masterpiece starts to decay. Tear the canvas, crack the frame — There’s no art inside my shame. Your brushstrokes rot — I scrape them off, I’d rather fade than be your loss. I collapse in color, Bleeding out the spectrum you left inside. Every shade grows darker, When the world keeps draining the light from my eyes. If I break, I’ll break in shades — Not the ones you tried to paint. Paint me wrong but watch me rise — I’m the light you tried to hide! I collapse in color — Yet I’m still alive! (hold your breath…) I feel the colors fade to black.
