This single is their first 2023 release, following their fourth album Drink My Poison. Announced in mid-August, they describe the song as being “about the struggles of being an artist and using your pain as a source of inspiration and creativity.”
[Chorus]
All my wounds: painting red
Take my life, or what's left
Tears pour salt on open flesh
Pluck out my eyes, I can see what's next
[Verse 1]
You see the world with a broken lens
Is it my damage that you want to see?
The hurt inside doesn't seem to end
If I called it art, would you watch me bleed?
[Chorus]
All my wounds: painting red
Take my life, or what's left
Tears pour salt on open flesh
Pluck out my eyes, I can see what's next
[Verse 2]
This view is suffocating
This canvas, used
My pallet, made of bruises
Made something new
[Refrain]
All my wounds: painting red
I keep this damage for you
Take my life, or what's lеft
[Chorus]
All my wounds: painting red
Take my life, or what's lеft
Tears pour salt on open flesh
Pluck out my eyes, I can see what's next
