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
