 I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
Its not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

+++++++++++++++++++++++++

Did some perspective correction (not nearly as much as needed, but PSP doesn't have a good application. . .). Dodged/burned the bricks, a lot. More than I normally would.

Played with saturation and contrast.

I think I see where you're going with this. I find the bricks a bit to disturbing shot from that angle though.
