on my own;


on my own;

my hands paint yellow
but my wrists are all red
my thoughts are all mellow
but my minds far too dead


my heart is almost rotten
but my body is fresh meat
my lungs are in full blossom 
but my breathing is offbeat


i say its unfair with a raspy groan
no one left to pity me now
im all on my own
