I've been painting in red, my canvas glimmering with a shine of blood
I tried to was the paint away only to have it spill to the floor and cover my feet.
It seeps out the front door and down the walkway
touching all the lives and families in the world
Then the red started to creep up my leg and into my mind
and i realized red was my inability to produce something of life, only death
so I tore back the canvas paper to expose the caper, the puppet master to this game
I reached in, letting the red spill over my arms and pulled him from his strings
Each snapped, clapped and retracted from the body pull from red
I let him whither on the floor in what looked like oil ready to boil
It screamed in pain and I'd never see red again.
