Take all of my blood and use it to paint the sky
The sun won't seem to set and I'm left asking "why?"
Paint the darkened shadows with the light from deep inside
What little I had left in me has only just now died

Take all of the pieces that have yet to turn to dust
Keep them close to your heart, you'll do this, I trust
Memories are faded, keep them coming back to us
No excuses left, no more onlys, buts, and justs

You've got to finish the job if you're going to **** me
You can't just leave me hanging halfway from my neck, in tree
And make sure you dig a grave for me, and for my corpse to be
For when you're done, my ghost will run and finally go free

Take all of my blood and use it to paint the day
Keep my bones and body parts all safely tucked away
Don't lose track or let my pieces go astray
Make the world turn red from these bleeding words I say

Take all of the concepts that we have tried to learn
Burn them into ashes and stick them inside my urn
And show and tell is here, but you must wait your turn
Patience is a virtue, and respect has to be earned

Take all of my blood and use it to paint everything
Splatter all the birds as they fly around and sing
Coat all of the trees and plants with my crimson sting
Watch as the new red planet is brightly glistening
