Paint Me Lyrics - Failure - Posies

Paint me lifeless gray 

For I have lost a friend today 

To desperate selfishness 

And so I will regress 

To something more disturbing 

Than all my words can say 

Black and white can not explain 

So paint me lifeless gray 

Paint me darkest black 

Tightened rope will never slack 

To free the chosen few 

Or change my charcoal hue 

I may be color-coated 

But that won't hide the fact 

That under shades of lifeless gray 

I'm painted darkest black 

It's just about that time of year 

When we will lose somebody dear 

Is that a funeral march I hear? 

It's just about that time of year 

Paint me burning red 

All the things he did and said 

And now I feel ashamed 

I thought it was a game 

I will not rationalize 

Or justify the dead 

I only want to free myself 

From all this burning red 

It's just about that time of year 

When we will lose somebody dear 

Is that a funeral march I hear? 

It's just about that time of year 

Paint me, paint me
