Like a violin with strings on my spine Hold me close to your shoulder and Let me tell you about my day I can't go back to where you last left me Red stains me in ink, correcting all my sins She has clutched my heart and kept my insides for later Green's a serpent's eye, it gleams of jealousy She is clean and heavy Won't you hold yourself up Won't you hold yourself up Tell me something unexpected I'm unaffected Red don't feel her pain, she swallows it Her lips don't leave a stain She's the guilt of gluttony She's embarrassed and shamed Heart strings that play with pain Oh, red is a barely burning coal Green is jade, she's emerald's sharp teeth She claws at my heart and caws with her beak
