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
I open up my heart to heal
