Vermilion

Can you see the blood rushing from my veins?

Can you hear the voice that overwhelms my brain?

I don't know what else to do

When I'm stuck in a death loop

I'll throw it all away

Rewrite my name

To start a new save

Now let the darkness turn to light

Coat the canvas in pure white

A blank slate for me to make something

Resoundingly great

Can you see the blood rushing from my veins?

It spurs with every brush stroke, blending with the pain

Oh, can you hear the voice that overwhelms my brain?

It forgos any logic, playing the insane

Yet all I do is paint

Eating away, this vermilion is all I paint

Toxic pigments smother all that remains

No it's not good enough, it's not pretty

All these thoughts that I have are so ugly

Rip it up, try again until it's clean

High above where it's kept oh so pristine

Teenage aches of stunted growth

Linger on as I grow old

What's happening to me?

Paint reserves are getting low

So,

I'll cut my heart wide open

And I'll become vermilion

Can you see the blood rushing from my veins?

It spurs with every brush stroke, blending with the pain

Oh, can you hear the voice that overwhelms my brain?

It forgos any logic, playing the insane

Yet all I do is paint

Eating away, this vermilion is all I paint

Toxic pigments smother all that remains
