[Verse 1]
Give me the sun, and I'll turn it to ice
Turn onto me for a penny worth in price
A kiss never lies, if it's lips could stay shut
A silent society is reason enough

[Chorus]
If it's dark, paint it red
Not uncommon, kill it dead
This poison equals sanity
Take away sickened minds
Let it bleed through the lines
Between valid and fantasy

[Verse 2]
Catastrophe, impure, and unclean
Painful honesty of what is humanity
Weak and exposed, don't cover the lens
Vile perfection but broken at ends

[Chorus]
If it's dark, paint it red
Not uncommon, kill it dead
This poison equals sanity
Take away sickened minds
Let it bleed through the lines
Between valid and fantasy
[Bridge]
Still like dead photographs of hollow radiance
Cold eyes and altered smiles on shells of emptiness
We're dull to shadows, hypnotized by obvious
Please cut me inside, my misery shall vanish into dust
Into dust, into dust, dust

[Chorus]
Paint it red, kill it dead
This poison equals sanity (Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
Not uncommon, kill it dead
This poison equals sanity
If it's dark, paint in red
Not uncommon, kill it dead
This poison equals sanity
