I Paint What I See

Red is the color of love
Blue is the color of my waning. My waning
Yellow is envy. Maybe it’s green?
Somewhere there lies a color in between
You know where my pallet lies
Brushes complete the rain
Oils come together to remember my name

I cannot believe the colors you are seeing. (whoa, whoa)
It takes a certain kind of mind to lead me away
I wonder if I could be swayed?
Maybe all you got to do is paint the canvas gray

I paint what I see with reckless abandonment
Self-portraits reflect me reflecting
If I could mix all these paints
Color would show emotional state
Well sometimes take a step back
Just to see what you create

I cannot believe the colors you are seeing. (whoa, whoa)
It takes a certain kind of mind to lead me away
I wonder if I could be swayed?
Maybe all you got to do is paint the canvas gray

Sketch the stress of daily living
Paint the life of someone else

Red. Red. Red. Red
