I don't think I'll ever have children

I'm too scared they're gonna get hurt

They're gonna get lost

I don't think the human race

A perfect place to be born in

'Cause most of them are part of the pack

And they don't see you when they move to attack

And all your beauty will be lost to them

All your hope will tremble in the wind

I paint it black

I'm thinking ahead while I'm looking back

But I still find hope to track

 

I am not scared for you

You're a mechanic you'll come up with something

I am not scared for you

You're a mechanic you'll build something

 

Maybe you're lucky and you dream your life away

Blissfully oblivious of hypocrisy

But maybe you're just like me

Asking too many questions being obsessive

But if you are you're truly blessed

Still nothing compares to truthfulness

And you'll find joy in being who you are

You'll find peace deep within

Don't paint it black

 

I can see you building a castle for your pride

I can see you building a refuge for winter's night

I can see you painting the sky

I can see you inventing a trap for your fears

I can see you forging a sword out of your tears

I can see you painting the sky
