Paint It Black

Black like my entire wardrobe
Black like most of my makeup
Black like how I color my nails
If I had it my way
It’s how I’d paint everything
Paint it black

Black like how I take my coffee
Black like all of my gadgets
Black like the ink used to write my notes & my music
If I had it my way
It’s how I’d paint everything
Paint it black

Black like the backdrop of the night sky
Black like the shadows at play
Black like my room when I build worlds & want to feel even closer to music
If I had it my way
It’s how I’d paint everything
Paint it black

Black allows me to create & see sceneries
Black inspires me to play with lights, shades & bring out splashes of color
Black is the plain canvas on which I paint
I have it my way
It is how I paint everything
Paint it black
