Tattered Work of Art Lyrics

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
