A Rainbow Before the End
Crimson words of hatred
Rest like heavy tombstones on my tongue
And though I can not bear to say them
They're crumbling out to weigh you down
Copper shards of sickness
Crawl out from the corners of my mouth
Inhaling the cutting crispness
I can’t help but cough them out
Lemon lyrics of delirium
Daze me out of seeing clear
Incoherent revelations
Am I crazy? Is it near?
Verdant envy seizes me
And pours rapidly throughout
It dances like a maelstrom
Around the things I think about
Cobalt crests of melancholy
Stab the iris of my eye
I leak the tears of misery
From qualm of missing the goodbye
And slowly now the violet arrives
Pouring out to no surprise
It brings closer my demise
So I look inside your silver eyes
--- as my colors slowly die.
