We paint the world red
As we paint the world red
Before bed we paint it black
As we live in shades of grey and green
As we close our eyes to the unforeseen
We live our nightmares and our dreams
Tears of streams do pour
As we see ourselves in the mirrored floor
Reflections of a life we have lived before
As happiness wipes away the tears from the floor
As life opens another door
We paint it yellow
We paint it red
Before bed we paint it black
As we open our eyes to the future stars
We have yet to ride
As our future cascades onto our dinner plate
In a world of love and hate
As we paint the world blood red
We paint the world black
As we paint the yellow sunshine black
We don’t look back
To the future we once had
When the world seemed black
