Can't find myself 'Who is there'"

A painting of a close up of a blue woman with bright fiery textures surrounding her head. They include flowers, flames, lips, jewelry, her eyes, and a red X on her forehead. Her mouth and eye placement are distorting and appear to be melting. She is smiling.

If you ever decide that time comes. But what can I do? What can I do? What can I do? I wish it was different. I wish you were different."
