What Color?

Can you see me
Hear me whispering
Peer into my soul
What’s there inside

A gun to my head and
what am I thinking
Who am I praying to
What color is my blood

Am I bleeding yet
Is my skin turning pale
Hanging in this noose
Are my lips moving

What do you see
Looking into my eyes
Are these tears real
What color am I now

Measure me
Hold my life in your hands
And weigh its value, its worth
Do I make the cut

Am I disposable
Is there nothing in me
That’s redeemable
Am I drowning in black

Well, tell me now
When you peer into my heart
Can you hear my every thought
All my fears and doubts

Do I frighten you
Am I despicable
Holding this gun to my head
Will you pull the trigger now
