I open up my mouth to speak
you paint the picture of my tongue
I choke until I bleed

I open up my eyes to see
you mask my face to see the tears
I sob until I sleep


This masterpiece has been
covered up with paint

so thick that you can't see
the mess you've made
So here I stand

paralyzed by the cast
you've chiseled away around me


I open up my my hands to feel
you break each finger and each wrist
but broken arms can't hold

I open up my heart to heal
you take your brush and paint it green
A jealous heart can't beat


This masterpiece has been
covered up with paint

so thick that you can't see
the mess you've made
So here I stand

paralyzed by the cast
you've chiseled away around me


Renovation hurts
I'm rubble and dirt
so let's see what you think

you can make from this [2x]

I open up my heart to heal.
