Picture
  Paint me a picture - paint it black
A road map for the lost at sea
Under the surface swaying hands
Craving, clutching, dragging me under

Paint me a picture - paint it red
An aftermath of razor blades
The ill weed growth of raving hate
A splintered mirror tearing me sunder

Paint me a picture - paint it blue
A statue girl upon a bridge
The fatal crack of too thin ice
A frozen memory haunting my conscience
