She paints a pretty picture

but the story has a twist 

Her paintbrush is a razor 

and her canvas is her wrist.

She paints a pretty picture

In a color that's blood red

while using her sharp paintbrush

she ends up dead.

Her pretty picture fading

quite slowely on her arm.

The blood is not racng through her

she can no longer do harm

She painted a pretty picture

but her story had a twist

You see... her mind was her razor 

and her heart was her wrist
