Tы перерезал себе вены ножом.
Ты окрашиваешь стену в красный цвет своей кровью.
Это красивая картина.
Ты фотограффируешь картину и отдал ее незнакомцу.
Ты даёшь свое безумие забвению.

You cut your veins with a knife.
You paint the wall red with your blood.
It is a beautiful painting.
You photograph the painting and give it to a stranger.
You give your madness to oblivion.

Translated from Russian
