This Masterpiece

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.
