Paint a perfect picture of me in a shade of hate
Paint a perfect picture of me
Signed and sealed by my ashes in the ink

Crush the truth with your fantasy
Into a hue dark as deceit
Place me high upon a pedestal
Display a feast for the cannibals

Desecrate me
Your finest work of art
Desecrate me
Portrait of pain
Your finest work of art

My silhouette, a shade of grey
Shape my soul, defining me
Portrait of pain, make me your masterpiece
My ashes in the ink
The perfect lie on full display
Hang me high and out of reach
Portrait of pain, make me your masterpiece
Your masterpiece

Hiding what lies beneath from this view
I cannot see
Centerpiece in the gallery
You are the artist in this forgery

Desecrate me
Your finest work of art
Desecrate me
Portrait of pain
Your finest work of art

My silhouette, a shade of grey
Shape my soul, defining me
Portrait of pain, make me your masterpiece
My ashes in the ink
The perfect lie on full display
Hang me high and out of reach
Portrait of pain, make me your masterpiece
Your masterpiece

Paint a perfect picture of me in a shade of hate
Paint a perfect picture of me
Signed and sealed by my ashes in the ink
