She Paints A Pretty Picture

She paints a pretty picture

But the story has a twist

Her paintbrush was her razor

And her canvas was her wrist

 

She paints a pretty picture

In a color that's blood red

And using her sharp paintbrush

She ends up finally dead

 

Her pretty pictures fading

Quite slowly up her arm

Blood no longer flows through her

She can no longer do her harm

 

Yes, she painted a pretty picture

But the story has a twist

You see, her mind was just her razor

And her heart was just her wrist
