I have got paint beneath my fingernails


Red, violet, blue


Mixing together in an impression of hell,


I have got flowers blooming on my skin,


Hyacinths and lavenders,


A new beginning,


I have got my eyes on you,


And you have your hands around my throat,


It's a rebirth, you whisper,


I believe as I choke,


I am a fool, I suppose...
