Paint It Black...

Missing image

I don't see anything bright
I want it all to be black
no red doors, please

The glamor girls walk around
in their fashionable clothes
while I am dressed in black

It's not fair, how the world
lies to us, and paints a picture
of everything beautiful, colorful

Leaving no remorse in my eyes
or a bitter joke of fake smiles
and pretty, flowery dresses

So, take all of the rainbows
and save them for some other
rainy day's aftermath...

...Paint it black...
