I'm in your car, unknown destination
Singing the words but never listen
Crazy nights, unforgotten
My palette of paint, my brush, and my muse
Color you endless on a canvas
There's no image, no picture, and no frame
Using my memory to bring it to life
Vermilion drops seep out, blood of the dead
Could it be me hanging by a thread ?
Slices of a knife, watch the maroon flow
Silenced guns for silenced screams
Black and white but you're a world of gray
A pink baby but was never a kid
"Sorrow for the little child I killed"
We stopped there in front of the broken traffic light
That red sign made us bring everything to a halt
Little did you know
How hard I was holding back
Hopelessly loving your mind, your thoughts, and your soul
Carefully selecting my words
Absolutely enchanted by your laugh, your eyes, and your heart
So would you kill me ?
I'm begging you to stab my chest, break my ribs, and tear me apart
If you don't
I'm afraid that I'll live to see another day, another week, and another life
If you aren't there, why would I ?
