Vermilion

[Intro]
Can you see the blood rushing from my veins?
Can you hear the voice that overwhelms my brain? Oh

[Verse 1]
I don't know what else to do
When I'm stuck in a death loop
I'll throw it all away, rewrite my name
To start a new save

Now let the darkness turn to light
Coat the canvas in pure white
A blank slate for me to make something
Resoundingly great

[Chorus]
Can you see the blood rushing from my veins?
It spurs with every brush stroke, blending with the pain
Oh, can you hear the voice that overwhelms my brain?
It forgoes any logic, playing the insane

Yet all I do is paint
Eating away, this vermilion is all I paint
Toxic pigments smother all that remains

[Verse 2]
No it's not good enough, it's not pretty
All these thoughts that I have are so ugly
Rip it up, try again until it's clean
High above where it's kept oh so pristine

Teenage aches of stunted growth
Linger on as I grow old
What's happening to me?
Paint reserves are getting low
So

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll cut my heart wide open
And I'll become vermilion

[Chorus]
Can you see the blood rushing from my veins?
It spurs with every brush stroke, blending with the pain
Oh, can you hear the voice that overwhelms my brain?
It forgoes any logic, playing the insane

Yet all I do is paint
Eating away, this vermilion is all I paint
Toxic pigments smother all that remains
