And I want to paint it black

Because the happy colors symbolize

All the things I lack

I would take the pretty rainbow

And paint it black

Then it would symbolize

The people stabbing at my back

I took the pretty rainbow

And painted it black

Blocked myself from the world

And from its brutal attacks

So there is the pretty rainbow

That I have painted black

I am sitting in its darkness

But sometimes I wish I could paint it back
