Paint my portrait on the wall
Paint it 'till it's black
Cause all I know I ever felt
Is never coming back
Paint my lips and paint my eyes,
Make them dark, as well
Cause all I know I ever did
Will send me straight to hell
Paint the blood that's running down
My every single vein,
Don’t spare my soul, don’t paint it red
But paint it black as well
Leave no spot of hallowed light,
Cause I've been living in a sin.
My nails, my hair, my skin,
Paint them dark, even my teeth
Paint them ‘till they match the tint
Of the poor damned shadows
That will always lie beneath
