Picture

Lyrics by Richard Tomsett

They're right when they say a picture is worth a thousand words
Each one of them dark and tearing into my mind
Each one of them working to tip the balance of love and hate
I don't want to look but cannot help, taking the punishment

Why am I doing this? Just as it gets better it sours again
I blame myself but its her who should take the punishment
She started it, she ended it, my thoughts are wrong
She gets away with it, the picture shows

It shows her scorn
It shows his apathy
It shows my weakness, the cursed trinity
It rapes my mind, the picture of my downfall

Show me the picture again
Carve it into my mind
Take all my joy
Pierce it with those painted words
