and tap my toes on stones
i love whats caught now in my eye
the dirt on dirty bones

see, Ive always liked the dirty side
of life.. and beauty too
i paint what i once tried to hide
cause its my duty to

the darkest pain black oil stain
contained by canvas blue
see the spirals mindful strain
reflecting back in you

a skull for head but body strong
grips a flowers stem
the petals pain does not belong
to you, to me.. or him

the swirling red moves heavy lead
thick blood throughout the vein
in madness its hot soup instead
like sticking pitchforks in my brain

now its time to fade...
