Oh, sweet canvas
You're a coping mechanism.
'Tis be wrong
But it feels so right-
Like love at first sightThough I may have two loves
The paintbrush
And you, canvasYou're so dirty...
Littered and tan
A few purple-grey marks of scars
How did I let you get so dirty?You must be cleaned.
I shall repaint you-
Then you will be pretty again.Pretty is good.
Society hates ugly.
I want to be like them-
I just want to fit in
Is that bad?Oh, come now, sweet canvas
Let you and the pain brush rejoice in a field of pain and beauty
Let me make you pretty againAnd we'll both see the red together.
