The Red

The Red, the red, the red, the beautiful color of red

Oh, how I loved to see you smile through my skin
My tears would seize when the red would start to drip
Can't believe how it made me feel pure ecstasy
When everything else in this world made my heart rip

The red, the red, the beautiful color of red

It's odd how others view me as being sane
When half the time I'm screaming inside
It’s true I feel ashamed but I can’t help it
When I hear the voice whispering to me as I cried

The red, the red, the beautiful color of red

Hate myself sometimes when I look
At the all my past scarlet lines
Trace my fingers across the bumps
And all of my bloody designs

The red, the red, the beautiful color of red

Right before the red starts to seep
I hear those horrible rants in my head
You're nothing at all to this world
Everyone just wishes you were dead

The red, the red, the beautiful color of red

Stop it, stop it, please
Can't take this anymore
Start to dig my nails in
And slide down to the floor

The red, the red, the beautiful color of red

Fighting off all the bitter temptations
In frightening times of my despair
I rarely ever feel the metal sting anymore
But there are times I can sense it there

The red, the red, the beautiful color of red
