Lyrics:
I live in a world that’s filled with voices
But I’m surrounded by mouths that only make noise
And I live in a room that has walls made of questions and choices
But I’m not scared enough to break them through, break them through

So Paint me, paint me
And paint me, paint me

Will these pink and purple ribbons take control of me
Wrapped around my wrists and arms tied into little bows
Do these orange girls see my lies, see what I stole from them
Even if they do, my skin would never let it show

I’ve been running these lengths, I’ve been running these miles thinking that I’m free
Breathing in the air through a straw taped at my neck

I’ve been living so nicely, I’ve been living so sweetly, so recently
I sometimes forget the blade pointed at my back

So paint me, paint me.
And paint me, paint me.
(Chorus)

Hearing the songs they play, you better concentrate
Words in the brain right out by which they are made
Even though they make you believe you know what you’ve been saying
There’s no way these lines can force me to explain

(Chorus)
