Red

Tonight the Moon has rose in a crimson red
But roses gotta wither so I’ll live forever instead
And now I can’t get rid of all these thorns in my head
Bring on the hemorrhaging
I guess I’ll live inside your memory

Another distorted story that ignore the deceased
I’ll live inside of a castle, pray I’m never released
I’d rather kick it in the dungeon
‘Cause I’m that kind of beast
I’ll bet my heart on the cards
Because I trust me the least

(Let it die)
Pressure mounting, but I’m doomed without it
Precious moments zooming by, don’t doubt it
Rest is ephemeral, scream and shout it
The best don’t sleep, I was all about it but
(Let it die)
Reaping keeps you tucked in the shadows
This creeping feeling of identity battles
Closing in on every side of me

Red tomorrow, red today
Dread, sorrow, can’t turn away
(Can’t turn back)

Time, I’ll always be a prisoner to my ambition
As petals fly, I’ll dance your tune
But hold your breath, guess who’s running the show?
And when this red runs black I’ll ask you
Was I everything you imagined?
When the time’s finally up, the sun’s falling down
I’ll turn to stone again

Every day’s a fight to stay relevant
And it cannot last, so I’ll relish it
And our planet’s vast, but this hole’s a ditch
Ya toss out the past, and you can strike it rich
Nobody asked but the mask is an alright right fit
And this fiction’s no disaster in spite of it
I stay curious, what comes after it?
So mysterious, and yet I exist

Hold on
Stay beautiful, stay young
There are blades to be swung yet
Rising soon
Regard the Moon
Reflected in the crimson sung tonight

Red tomorrow, red today
Dread, sorrow, can’t turn away
(Can’t turn back)

Time, I’ll always be a prisoner to my ambition
As petals fly, I’ll dance your tune
But hold your breath, guess who’s ownning the throne?
So come alive now
Once again, so I can chase you down
We are five minutes away from
The end, it’s come
Continue slashing forward I must
Or else just fade away

There’s a drive to strive inside all of us
A never-ending ouroboros
Sinking way deep down and it’s all because
I keep thinking that reaping is all there was
And is now!
I gotta find a way out escape how
Fate has a funny way of shaking the weak down
Am I gonna peak now?
Future looking bleak, wow
Somehow incomplete after all
(Can’t turn back)

Time, I’ll always be a prisoner to my ambition
As petals fly, I’ll dance your tune
Don’t hold your breath for me!
And when this red runs black I’ll ask you
Was I everything you imagined?
When the time’s finally up, the sun’s falling down
I’ll turn to stone again
So come alive now
Once again, so I can chase you down
We are five seconds away from
The end, it’s come
From here on out, it’s only just me and this bloodlust
I’d rather just
Fade away
