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 I open up my heart to heal.
