There's a chance we may lose it all
All those hollow souls
Can't hope to hold that wall
What I breathe used to be my life
How come a good thing dies
And the evil still survive
Oh I've got to paint it red
Wake up and colour all the pieces
Don't sleep without your faces, and
Oh I've got to paint it red
Put your eyes back in your head
And oh paint it red
Where's the dance they may never dance
All those open hands
Can't hope to have a chance
What I see used to be a smile
How come your lips are sealed
And your spirit never flies
Cash on delivery
That's all they ever said
Grey tones can't be trusted
You better watch your tape boys
It's the tint that angers the beast
Got their sails in the sunset
they've already got the east
Red red red
Don't you let them make you
Don't let them make you see ... red
You better watch your lead boys
it's already in your veins
Did you ever see the colour
iron turns when it rains
It's not a gross infatuation
It's not a fear, it's not a crush
It's not any special nation
flat on my back
in a lonely sprawl
i stare at the ceiling
'cause i can not fall
asleep tonight
no not at all
head lights flash
across my bedroom wall
crying eyes open
'cause i can not fall
in love with you
no not at all
walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid
walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid
busted in two
like a brittle stick
i can not drink
because my throat constricts
lovesick from you
that will never do
open my mouth
i couldn't make a sound
i could not scream
i could not shout
it out to you
nothing to do
walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid
walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid
this may come as a shocking surprise
i have to take a walk
i have to kiss it goodbye
goodbye my love
goodbye my love
i am not alive
walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid
walk away and taste the pain
come again some other day
aren't you glad you weren't afraid
funny how the price gets paid
funny how the price gets paid
I read that it's all black and white.
Oooh, the spectrum made a shade I like!
Ooh, those crinsom rays of ruby bright.
Ah! The technicolor li-i-ight!
Red! Red! I want red!
There's no substitute for red!
Red! Paint it red!
Green ain't mean compared to red!
You don't know what it does to me.
Yeah, that crimson sin intensity!
I'm haunted by the mystery,
yeah, yeah, the mystery of red, red, red!
Red! Red knocks 'em dead!
Some like it hot-tah!
I like it red!
Red's my lover, got me covered!
Red's my number and he's a commer!
Red's my drummer. I hear his thunder!
Move over, brother!
Red is a mother!
He's a mother!
Red! Red knocks 'em dead!
Red, red, red, red!
Red! Red! I want red!
Move over, brother!
Move over, brother!
Go bop-bop, go bop-bop.

Red! Red! Red! I want red!

Gimme red!
It was a long goodbye,
When you let me go,
I held onto you,
and you kissed me slow
It was burning bright,
We were burning bright
Mm mm mm
We were burning bright,
Our hearts were set on fire
That night, that night
Oh I never will forget
It was burning red, red, red
I'm trying to chase the feeling away
But it keeps on endlessly
Broken hearts they seem familiar,
But that doesn't mean that I'm okay
Oh, can you let me forget it?
But do I want to forget it?
No, no I don't, oh oh
We were burning bright,
Our hearts were set on fire
That night, that night
Oh I never will forget
It was burning red, red, red
We were burning bright,
Our hearts were set on fire
That night, that night
Oh I never will forget
It was burning red, red, red
It was red, red, red
Oh oh oh oh,
You're beautiful
And it was red
Oh oh oh yeah
I've read it all, it's black and white
The spectrum made a shade I like
The crimson rays are ruby bright
Technicolor light
(Red)
I want red, there's no substitute for red
(Red)
Paint it red, green ain't mean compared to red
You don't know what it does to me, my crimson sane intensity
I'm haunted by the mystery, the mystery of red
(Red)
Knocks 'em dead
Some like it hot, I like it red
Red's my lover, got it covered
Red's my number, sure as a coma
Red's my drummer and I hear red thunder
Move over brother, red's a mother
(Red, red)
(Red, red)
Move over brother
Move over brother
(Red, red)
(Red, red)
Well that's what I said, that's what I said, hey
(Red, red)
Come on to bed
(Red, red)
With that expensive spread
(Red, red)
(Red, red)
Red, red, red, red, red, red, red
[Instrumental]
sometimes i sit around and make up problems in my mind, 'bout nothing in particular but then i watch t.v. but i am not really watching instead i'm thinking about her. [chorus] paranoid thought go swimming through my head and i'm thinking about you red and i don't understand why i feel so confused. sometimes i sit around and conjure problems in my mind red into everything you say, try to find a meaning that is simply not there. am i in love or am i just fuckin lame? i'm lame! [chorus]
this red
writing in red
ever
bleeding red
wanting red at rest
upon the red sea
it will be red
this red
to silence me
ever
feeding me
it's frightening me
it reveals
it will always be red
but it makes no difference
it makes no difference, anymore
and still loneliness awaits my return
and still loneliness awaits my return
into red
The streets are full of stars again tonight
And an angel writes a word across the sky
When the people laugh there's no sound
And the words keep falling round and round
And the world just keeps on watching
Till there's nothing left to buy
I don't believe it
Well they don't care
It's moving closer
It's everywhere
Everything around us turning red - red
You walk into your home
You walk it talks - red
The fever's taken over everyone
And the only law that matters is the gun
The people run from every slum
There's nowhere safe to watch it from
The underground is over now
There's nothing that can be done
I don't believe it
Well they don't care
It's moving closer
It's everywhere
Everything around us turning red
You walk into a bar
You drink it smokes - red
You're driving in your car
You turn it burns - red
As the air becomes too hot for us to breathe
There's none of us that really want to leave
From the frozen north to the sun soaked south
The colour spreads by word of mouth
Till there's no-one left to talk to
We just look into the screen
Well I don't believe it
Well they don't care
It's moving closer
It's everywhere
Everything around us turning red - red
You walk into your home
You walk it talks - red
You walk into a bar
You drink it smokes - red
You're driving in your car
You turn it burns - red
You're on the telephone
You talk it's always - red
You walk into your home
You walk it talks - red
You walk into a bar
You drink it smokes - red
Red! - Red! - Red! - Red!
I'd have to talk all night to explain
And tell you why 'cause this ain't no game
Look at my world you see it's cold colored red
I'd have you here just instead
I close my eyes and see your face in my head
Until all my fears are dead
Hold it close to me
The thought of not having to be burned again
Left a load of good fortune on the bus somewhere in life
Now I see what I've missed out on in my own little fight
I'd have to talk all night to explain
And tell you why because this ain't no game
Look in my world you see the scars on my life
Can you heal me tonight?
I close my ears and your voice in my head
Until my fears are all dead
Try to confront me
From the thought of being alone again
Thought I knew what I had found
So I tried to settle down
Just to make you happy
Then my world became a box
I felt trapped
I knew this wasn't me
Far away from home
On a station all alone
And I think of you
All the times we had
I'll hope you understand
That I did what I had to
It's not that I don't care
I'm just not ready for love
I had to hide my life
Her face is down
And her fingers hang loose
Like horsetail cigarettes
Looks like half a man is all she gets tonight
My little hercules
Never hurt anyone
And he's the only way of getting home
So when you're between her lips
And the spine of her bed
When everything turns red
Well I see red as well
When you see the colour of love
I see the colour of hell
I lose myself
And I fall away
Past the sad and long dog days
Through a world in which I don't belong anymore
Past the barstool boys
Who take and take me anyhow
But they never take you away
So when you fall beneath her sheets
I lose my head
When everything goes red
Well I see red as well
When you see the colour of love
I see the colour of hell
Lord, lead me on
To a world that I can no longer find
Saw you looking for a light
Face painted cigarette white
You asked the cleanest boy you found
You couldn't see me turned around
His fingers stretched across your empty gaze
That I just can't escape
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress
A picture of the people you've impressed
Hangs on a wall around here
Vision starts to crawl when I'm near
And the evening waits
While you get caught up to your own mistakes
Made up different lines
I wouldn't wanna keep in my mind
I wondered why you'd come around
Remembering your little girl frown
Your answers kept the crowd at bay
With compliments unwilling to pay
I had some things I'd like to say to you
I've been down, I've been out
I did it all on my own
Seems growing up
Didn't take long
I feel strange, I feel good
I feel better with you
You've changed, you should
Cause I think I did too
Made my mistakes
I did a few things right
But it will take what it will take
Baby, that's life
You cannot change what you do not own
Everybody knows
But if you live deep and love strong
You get pretty damn close
It moves fast and it scares me
I close my eyes, oh but I still see
I'm fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
And I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red
I shake and I smile
Cause you said
Baby girl, it may take a while, but take the good from the bad
And never minds are never sure, so never leave them wanting more
What are you waiting for
How you love is who you are
I dive in and I sink in
And I find new colors to think in
I'm fading in and out
What are you supposed to do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
And I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see everything you said
Crimson in red
In the distance is a line defining where I've been
Rhe state I'm in
And ever since it began to slip from my two hands I've been
Taunting fires, touching wires, been believing liars
Everything they said
Painted in red
Painted in red
Painted in red
I am fading in and out
What are you gonna do save me know
From all of this danger you don't know how
I'll find my way out
When I'm in the red
Listening to strangers inside my head
The darkening angels beneath the bed
I still see what you said
What are you gonna do
No way for you to save me
What are you gonna do
Everything that you gave me
Red is my favorite color, red like your mother's eyes after awhile of crying about how you don't love her. She says "I know I don't deserve supervised sight of her, but each day becomes a blur without my daughter." Fall is my favorite season, like falling to reasoning why you crashed from on high. She says "Why is my life so uneven, and what have I done right but given you your life if after I led you on into that bar room?" "Yes" is my favorite answer. I took a dancer home, she felt so alone. We stayed up all night in the kitchen doing my dishes, on and on until the dawn. She said "I know it's easy to have me, but I have seen some things that I can't even tell to my family pictures," and "I'm full of fictions and fucking addictions" and "I miss my mother." She'll never know I could never forget her. If I could write her a letter, I'd try with every line to say "She still remembers your touch. And I know that it's not much, but you still haven't lost
Nothing ever happens in this dirty hick town
The bar is always closed and all the hookers are long gone
The church is entertaiment and prozac is the drug
I'm going out of my mind, start changing it around
I got gallons of blood
Can't remember where it's from
Just clippings on the wall
I guess it's stuff that I have done
I've gotta paint this town red!
Autoerotic, I'm bored and all neurotic
Just sitting around all day just planning how to die
Wasting time, cracking fingers
My body gets thinner by the minute
Sometimes I feel that I am dead
Distant memories haunt me
It really seems like a dream
Like a dead man's song
A machine with no conscience
I've gotta paint this town red!
Like a dead man's song
I'm just a souped-up machine with no conscience
Like a dead man's song
Living in a dirty hick town
red room, red room.
stop, stop and think about it, purification of race.
what was the color of your blood the last time you checked?
this brought on by hate, leaves you seeking.
this seeking leaves your questions unanswered.
impatient, you take matters into your own.
come to think about it ignorance won't leave you alone.
nevermind, you're all one kind,
you think at this rate you'll never be left behind.
"racial equality, there's no such thing." you said.
"that's funny, your broken nose bleeding proves your blood to be red..."
i am full of anger, i am full of hate.
forget i wasn't always like this, i've cleaned my own slate.
i am full of anger, i am full of hate.
forget i wasn't always like this, i've cleaned my own slate.
purify your heart, give up your hate!
purify your mind, give up your hate!
purify your focus, give up your hate!
purify your self, give up your hate!
purify your heart, give up your hate!
purify your mind, give up your hate!
purify your focus, give up your hate!
purify your self, give up your hate!
purify my blood Jesus, with the blood that you've bled...
purify my blood Jesus, with Your blood that is oh so red...
purify my blood Jesus, with the blood that you've bled...
purify my blood Jesus, with Your blood that is red...
your time on earth is limited.
is there a need to spend it in hatred?
you have a chance to hold eternity in your hands.
to every race this is sacred.
no need to look any further.
your questions are too deep.
no need to continue hatred if all you do is weep.
look to Jesus Christ and get down on your knees.
ask Him into your heart and to cleanse all your sleeze.
purify your heart, give up your hate!
purify your mind, give up your hate!
purify your focus, give up your hate!
purify your self, give up your hate!
purify your heart, give up your hate!
purify your mind, give up your hate!
purify your focus, give up your hate!
purify your self, give up your hate!
stop and think about it, you were saved by His grace.
Angel – draped in crimson head to toe
Demon – but you simply do not know
How long will your sad charade go on?
Realize you are the key to end it all
Hellboy, your destiny is just two locks away
Do it today
I beheld you and in your right hand:
The key to the bottomless pit
Red, red
Do it today
I beheld you and in your right hand:
The key to the bottomless pit
There's a window in my head.
There's a window in my heart.
I look out of them when I'm sleepy
And then I fall apart.
Things are crumbling outside of me
And they're crashing at my door.
There's a crest that keeps arriving.
I strip my face off of the mirror
And then I take another breath.
The animals are still screaming, dreaming
Red, you look tired.
You look older than your mother.
Where should I not touch?
What should I not kiss?
Where does it hurt?
Red, in you slumber,
You look younger, so much stronger.
Honey on your breath,
Heaven in your head.
Where does it hurt?
Red red red, oh.
So long in this house.
It's a big one, full of scarecrows, even now.
So now you look ahead to the edge
Of a bigh metal sun over sunset, overheated (over).
Welcome home, our only son.
Red red red, oh.
Mm mm come open mouth like Venus.
Mm mm come over (the) mountain like Vesuvius.
Send a rocket for Red, and he goes coo-coo.
Mm mm come open mouth like Venus.
Mm mm come over (the) mountain like Vesuvius.
Send a rocket for Red, and he goes coo-coo.
Send a rocket for Red, and he goes coo-coo.
The tragic comedy divine
Paints the way the piece of mind
Leaving shallow lovers behind
At some certainties combined
Bringing tears to sleepless eyes
Memory runs the course of time
Blood runs cold beyond the violet prison
For violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away
We're never in love
We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say
So we sleep through the days
Within the heat of passion war
Lust is spilled upon the floor
Staining red the waisted metaphore
The selfish need for something more
Causing vain at closing doors
Scarring faces once adored
Tracing circles in the violet prison
For violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you blow us away
We're never in love
We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say
Turn around they might be watching
And you never disappoint them
Hide your innocence before they see right through
You mustn't disappoint them
You need the danger just to feel your heart beat
You need to die just to find your identity
You need the knife just to know that you can bleed
You need the pain now just to feel anything
We fall in line
We live the lie
Give up, give up and feed the machine
It grows inside
Nowhere to hide
Give up, give up and feed the machine
Give up, give up and feed the machine
They pull you faster, the cadence calling
And you never fall behind
So choose a face your only calling out
You mustn't fall behind
You need to another death just to have a life to save
You need a master just so you can beg
You need to light because your so afraid
Now bow down and learn to be a good slave
We fall in line
We live the lie
Give up, give up and feed the machine
It grows inside
Nowhere to hide
Give up, give up and feed the machine
Give up, give up and feed the machine
Go back to sleep
Go back to sleep
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
Wake up
We fall in line
We live the lie
Give up, give up and feed the machine
It grows inside
Nowhere to hide
Wake up, wake up and kill the machine
Wake up, wake up and kill the machine
Enemy, familiar friend
My beginning and my end
Broken truth, whispering lies
And it hurts again
What I fear and what I try
Words I say and what I hide
All the pain, I want it to end
But I want it again
And it finds me
The fight inside is coarsing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is breaking me again
It's still the same, pursuing pain
Isn't worth the lie I've gained
We both know how it will end
But I do it again
And it finds me
The fight inside is coarsing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is hurting me again
And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under
And without you
The fight inside is breaking me again
And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under
And without you
The fight inside is breaking me again
Oh, it's everything
Oh, it's everything
Oh, it's everything
Oh, it's everything
Oh, it's everything
Can I be dreaming once again?
I'm reaching helpless I descend
You're leading deeper through this maze
I'm not afraid
I'm lost in you everywhere I run
Everywhere I turn I'm finding something new
I'm lost in you something I can't fight
I cannot escape
I can spend my life lost in you! Lost in you!
Your whispers fill these empty halls
I'm searching for you as you call
I'm bracing, chasing after you
I need you more
I'm lost in you everywhere I run
Everywhere I turn I'm finding something new
I'm lost in you something I can't fight
I cannot escape
I can spend my life lost in you!
I could never be the same here
Something that I never could erase
I could never look away
I lost myself in you!
It's all over now!
Lost in you! Everywhere I run
Lost in you! Everywhere I run!
Lost in you!
You never go
You're always here
Beneath my skin
I cannot run away
Fading slowly
Give it all to you
Reaching as I fall
It's already over, already over now
My best defense, running to you
I can't resist, take all you want from me
Breaking slowly
Give it all to you
Reaching as I fall
It's already over now
Loving you again
It's already over, already over now
You're what I reach for when I fall
It's already over
You're what I reach for when I fall
You never go, you're always here
(Suffocating me)
Under my skin, I cannot run away
Fading slowly
I give it all to you, letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose, loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now
My best defense, running from you
I can't resist, take all you want from me
Breaking slowly
I give it all to you, letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose, loving you again
I know it's already over, already over now
You're all I'm reaching for
It's already over
All I'm reaching for
It's already over now
I give it all to you
I offer up my soul
It's already over, already over now
Give it all to you, letting go of me
Reaching as I fall
I know it's already over now
Nothing left to lose, loving you again
I know it's already over now
It's already over now
We were the ones who weren't afraid
We were the brokenhearted
We were the scars that wouldn't fade away
How did we let go?
How did we forget that we don't have to hide?
We won't believe the lies again
We won't be paralyzed
We can be who we are, now we are alive
We can fight, they cannot contain us
It's who we are, we are undying
We are forever
We won't hide our faces from the light
Eliminate the space between us
It's who we are, we are forever
It's who we are
We were the tears that passion cried
We were the sacrificed
We were the flame that wouldn't die inside
How did we go wrong?
We will not forget, we won't get left behind
We won't give up this fight again
We won't be denied
We can be who we are, now we are alive
We can fight, they cannot contain us
It's who we are, we are undying
We are forever
We won't hide our faces from the light
Eliminate the space between us
It's who we are, we are forever
It's who we are
We will never die
We'll never die
We will not deny
Now we are alive
We can be who we are, now we are alive
We can fight, they cannot contain us
It's who we are, we are undying
We are forever
We won't hide our faces from the light
Eliminate the space between us
It's who we are, we are forever
And I remember everything, everything I loved
I gave it away like it wasn't enough
All the words I said and all you forgive
How could I hurt you again?
What if I let you win? What if I make it right?
What if I give it up? What if I want to try?
What if you take a chance? What if I learn to love?
What if, what if we start again?
All this time I can make it right
With one more try, can we start again?
In my eyes you can see it now
Can we start again? Can we start again?
Emptiness inside me, wonder if you see
It's my mistake and it's hurting me
I know where we've been, how'd we get so far?
What if, what if we start again?
All this time I can make it right
With one more try, can we start again?
In my eyes you can see it now
Can we start again? Can we start again?
I'm lost inside the pain that I feel without you
I can't stop holding on, I need you with me
I'm caught inside the pain
Can we ever start again? I'm lost without you
One more try, can we start again?
In my eyes, can you forgive me now?
Can we start again? Can we start again?
One more try, can we start again?
Can we start again? Can you forgive me now?
Can we start again?
Hey you, look what you do to me
You bend and you bruise me
Why you try to control me?
But you don't know me
How come you just want to hurt me?
How come you just want to push me?
I can't ignore you anymore
Cause everywhere I turn you
You burn me, you break me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?
I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be evaded it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be evaded
Just let go! (look what you do to me)
Let go! (look what you do to me)
Hey you, look what you do to me
You burnt and you scared me
With all that you tell me (but I don't listen!)
You love me, you hate me
You always want to take me down with you
What do you want from me?
I don't wanna be afraid I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be evaded it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be evaded
Just let
You kept pushing me
You keep using me
You keep twisting me
You keep breaking me
You can't have me anymore
You can't have me, let go!
I don't wanna be afraid, I don't wanna run away
I don't want to be evaded it's more that I can take
I'm never gonna be the same
I threw it all away
I don't want to be evaded
Just let go! Let go! Just let go!
I don't wanna be afraid
Let go! (I don't wanna run away!)
I tried to walk together
But the night was growing dark
Thought you were beside me
But I reached and you were gone
Sometimes I hear you calling
From some lost and distant shore
I hear you crying softly for the way it was before
Where are you now?
Are you lost?
Will I find you again?
Are you alone?
Are you afraid?
Are you searching for me?
Why did you go?
I had to stay
Now I'm reaching for you.
Will you wait? Will you wait?
Will I see you again?
You took it with you when you left
These scars are just a trace
Now it wanders, lost and wounded
This heart that I misplaced
Where are you now?
Are you lost?
Will I find you again?
Are you alone?
Are you afraid?
Are you searching for me?
Why did you go?
I had to stay
Now I'm reaching for you
Will you wait? Will you wait?
My eyes have adjusted to dark and so is my heart
The weight of the world has covered me
I'm in over my head, am I living or dead?
Can anyone hear me calling out? I'm calling out
Finally breaking so where are you now
It's been such a long time but I've tried to live without
I'm suffocating, I need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up, pull me up before I am buried beneath
I built this house on the shore, all I wanted was more
But I felt the sand start shifting
I saw the cracks in the walls, I painted over them all
I tried my best to just ignore, I can't ignore
Finally breaking so where are you now?
It's been such a long time but I've tried to live without
I'm suffocating I need you to breathe
So reach down and pull me up, pull me up before I am buried beneath
Thought I was climbing out but it's dragging me down
What's hidden here with me?
Thought I was alone but it pulls me deeper now
I can't escape
Finally breaking so where are you now?
It's been such a long time but I've tried to live without
I'm suffocating I need you to breathe
It's been a year, filled with problems,
But now you're here, almost as if to solve them;
And I can't live another day without you now.
This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening. And I think you would agree the best thing is that it's happening to you and me.
All I wanna have is all that you can give me, and I'll give right back, everything I kept in me. Cuz nothin ever felt as good as this does right now. I'll go back to before we met, try and erase the past, try harder to forget cuz nothing ever felt as right as here and now.
This is the best thing, the best thing that could be happening. And I think you would agree the best thing is that it's happening to you and me. The best thing, the best thing that could be happening.And I think you would agree the best thing is that it's happening to you and me.
Always knew (I'd find someone) But never dreamt (it'd be like this) Cuz you've surpassed all that I've hoped for in every wish. And I'm trying, so hard, with all my heart and mind, to make your life as good as you've made mine.
Afraid it won't come round again
Afraid to move on
Wishing I could go back when
Everything was easier and made for me
Wanting all we left behind
Like its the answer
An hour glass we can't rewind
Holding back the life that I've been at for so long
Can I find my way to you
And After all that we've been through
And after all we left in pieces
I still believe our lives have just begun
Cause now the past can be outrun
And I know you are the reason
I still believe the best is yet to come
A Photograph's still in my hands
Afraid to let it go
The minutes rain like grains of sand
And time is just a war that's stealing dreams from within
So come and take them back again
And After all that we've been through
And after all we left in pieces
I still believe our lives have just begun
Cause now the past can be outrun
And I know you are the reason
I still believe the best is yet to come
I won't turn around
Let it all slip away
I'm never backing down
Cause tomorrow's a new day
And everything can change
And After all that we've been through
And after all we left in pieces
I still believe our lives have just begun
Cause now the past can be outrun
And I know you are the reason
I still believe the best is yet to come
I still believe the best is yet to come
The best is yet to come
A long day alone, emptiness is so real
Never having peace of mind
Running from what I can't sing
And there is nowhere left to hide
Turn and face these empty lies
All alone, heart unturned, trying to find
Break me down, replace this fear inside
Take this nothingness from me
I want to fight, I want to shine
I want to rise, break me down
I try to find myself
I find the stranger trapped inside
And I'll take one more step away
From the face I used to recognize
Familiar shadows closing in
Suffocating fear descends
You killed a life, uncovered eyes
I'm trying to find
Break me down replace this fear inside
Take this nothingness from me
I want to fight, I want to shine
I want to rise, break me down
Replace this fear inside
Take this nothingness from me
I want to fight, I want to shine
I want to rise, break me down
Break me down
I want to fight, I want to shine
I want to rise, break me down
Break me down
You've stripped me down, the layers fall like rain.
Its over now, just innocence and instinct still remain.
You watched me while I slowly disappeared.
I reached for you to save me; you were frozen in your fear.
Take it all away[x4]
Circling the pain inside my soul.
I reached inside your silence to steal what you wont show.
I tried to find the answers in my fears.
But what was found is lost again as soon as it appeared.
Take it all away [x4]
Im breaking; I cant do this on my own.
Can you hear me screaming out, am I all alone?
The sun has set, I close my eyes
I pretend everything's alright
Drowning in anger from all these lies
I can't pretend everything's alright
Please don't let me fall forever
Can you tell me it's over?
There's a hate inside of me like some kind of master
I try to save you but I can't find the answer
I'm holding onto you, I'll never let go
I need with you with me as I enter the shadows
Caught in the darkness I go blind
But can you help me find my way out?
Nobody hears me, I suffer the silence
Can you tell me it's over now?
There's a hate inside of me like some kind of master
I try to save you but I can't find the answer
I'm holding onto you, I'll never let go
I need with you with me as I enter the shadows
I'm holding onto you
I'm holding onto you
There's a hate inside of me like some kind of master
I try to save you but I can't find the answer
I'm holding onto you, I'll never let go
Knocked off my feet, the earth moved beneath
The edge of a dream and a nightmare
I opened the door, fell through the floor
I slipped through the cracks into nowhere
So tell me where were you?
When everything fell down like thunder
I begged you to pull me through
I couldn't get out from under
I took the fall, I took it all
My smile was just an illusion
Cut me I bleed, reveal me I need
I finally broke in the pressure
So tell me where were you?
When everything fell down like thunder
I begged you to pull me through
I couldn't get out from under
Left me for dead inside my head
Couldn't you see that I was still breathing?
Screaming, I reached for you
I couldn't get out from under
Where were you? I reached for you
The pressure pulled me down
Where were you? I reached for you
The pressure pulled me
Where were you?
The pressure pulled me
Where were you?
The pressure pulled me
Where were you? I reached for you
You always said we'd meet again
You always said you'd be here (Where are you now?)
You touched the deepest part of me
The places I could not see
Just tell me why I'm so dark inside
(Chours)
Somewhere I will find
All the pieces torn apart
You just left behind
In your mystery
Somewhere I will see
All you've taken from me
All you kept deep inside
In the mystery of you
The mystery of you
It's obvious you understand
The blood that's on my hands (Where are you now?)
I'm paralyzed, I can't escape
Until I see your face
Don't leave me all alone
You're all I know
(Chours)
You're all I know
You're all I know
Don't go, don't go
Somewhere I will find
All the pieces torn apart
You've hidden deep inside
The mystery of you
Somewhere, somewhere
The mystery of you
I should have seen all the signs around me
But I was comfortable inside these wounds
So go ahead and take another piece of me now
While we all bow down to you
You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all and still it's not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me
How can you know my affliction
If you're the sickness and not the cure
But too long I have faked this addiction
Another sacrifice will make us pure
You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all and still it's not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me
You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all and still it's not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me
I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I won't forget, I'll never forget this
I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I won't forget, I'll never forget this
I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I won't forget, I'll never forget this
I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I won't forget, I'll never forget
No, I can never prove this solution
You aren't the one that I thought you were
And so I learn to embrace this illusion
I will separate this all to a blur
You tear me down and then you pick me up
You take it all and still it's not enough
You try to tell me you can heal me
But I'm still bleeding and you will be the death of me
And you will be the death of me
I won't forget, I cannot forget this
I feel fine
And I can smile
But I feel the anger coming
It's underneath
I don’t know why
It's always overflowing
It's a constant fight
Deep inside
And I want to forget it
(Chorus)
I confess
I’m always afraid
Always ashamed of what’s inside me
I confess
I’m always afraid
Always ashamed of what’s inside my head
And I can breath
And I still feel
But not the way I want to
On the edge
Don’t know how
I can escape this nightmare
(Chorus)
I confess
I’m always afraid
Always ashamed of what’s inside me
I confess
I’m always afraid
Always ashamed of what’s inside my head
Wasting away
Its part of my instinct
I’ll run away
And everything I hate
Take this away
And help me escape
Take this away
I confess
(Screaming)
Innocence
Innocence
And this is how it feels when I ignore the words you spoke to me
And this is where I lose myself when I keep running away from you
And this is who I am when, when I don't know myself anymore
And this is what I choose when it's all left up to me
Breathe your life into me, I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me, I still need you
I'm falling, falling
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
And this is how it looks when I am standing on the edge
And this is how I break apart when I finally hit the ground
And this is how it hurts when I pretend I don't feel any pain
And this is how I disappear when I throw myself away
Breathe your life into me, I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me, I still need you
I'm falling, falling
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe your life into me, I can feel you
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me, I still need you
I'm falling, falling, breathe into me
Breathe your life into me
I'm falling, falling faster
Breathe your life into me
Falling, falling, falling
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
Breathe into me
A voice screaming from within, begging just to feel again
Can't find who I am without You near me
I'd give anything to live 'cause without You I don't exist
You're the only one who saves me from myself
I've been in this love and laid it to rest
And now I want to bow 'fore God's hand
I'm not, I'm not myself, feel like I'm someone else
Walled-in and faceless, so hollow, hollow inside
A part of me is dead, need You to live again
Can you replace this? I'm hollow, hollow and faceless
Shadows growing in my mind, ones I just can't leave behind
I'm not strong enough to pay this ransom
One more monster crawled inside but I swear I saw it die
Can You save me from the nothing I've become?
I've been in this love and laid it to rest
And now I'm one of the forgotten
I'm not, I'm not myself, feel like I'm someone else
Walled-in and faceless, so hollow, hollow inside
A part of me is dead, need You to live again
Can you replace this? I'm hollow, hollow and faceless
I'm faceless
I'm hollow and faceless
I'm not, I'm not myself, feel like I'm someone else
Walled-in and faceless, so hollow, hollow inside
A part of me is dead, need You to live again
Can you replace this? I'm hollow, hollow and faceless
You put my back against the wall
Watching, waiting
You never thought I'd get that far
Beneath your skin
I watched you swim with all your lies
They pulled you under
As you wait for my demise
I'm just getting stronger
I'm learning who you really are
And nothing can save you
I will fight until the end, get ready to collide
And I will watch you fall again
I'll bury you alive
You tried to bring me to my knees
You tried to take it all
Now I will stand and watch you crawl
I'll put you back where you belong
Hopeless, fading
And I will rise while you become
The monster you have fed
I'll let you drown in your despair
Now nothing can save you
I will fight until the end, get ready to collide
And I will watch you fall again
I'll bury you alive
You tried to bring me to my knees
You tried to take it all
Now I will stand and watch you crawl
I'm still here, I'm still here, I'm still here
Now I'm gonna watch you beg, beg, beg
I will fight until the end, get ready to collide
And I will watch you fall again
I'll bury you alive
You tried to bring me to my knees
You tried to take it all
You found me here, waiting for your chance
You would reach inside and take all of me
You watch your lies smother me again
But now you can't!
Don't even try your wasting time
Jump back I'll beat you down and turn around
I'm fighting my way through you
Push you away, I'll never break
Come back ill beat you down
It's over now
I'm turning my back on you
I turn around, there you are
A blink and a flash back to you again
You push me down tried to steal it all
This time I pushing back!
Don't even try your wasting time
Jump back I'll beat you down, turn around
I'm fighting my way through you
Push you away, I'll never break
Come back I'll beat you down
It's over now
I'm turning my back on you
ohh on you
Go ahead and try to stop me
Go ahead and try to stop me
Go ahead and try to stop me
Go ahead and try!
Go ahead and try!
Don't even try, you're wasting time
Jump back I'll beat you down and turn around
I'm fighting my way through you!
Push you away, I'll never break
Come back I'll beat you down
It's over now
What if I'm not the same
What if I never let go of the blame
What if you drag me back again
What if I would let you just pretend
I erase this memory
I escape this gravity
Is that how I used to be
Is that the price of my identity
I'm standing on the outside
I'm looking in on what you can't hide
Your dying on the inside
Because now I can see the lies from the outside
What if I stand ashamed
What if I can't let go of the pain
What if I have something to lose
What if I've got nothing left to prove
I replace this life you stole
I replace the world I know
What if you were always wrong
And if I said I knew it all along
I'm standing on the outside
I'm looking in on what you can't hide
Your dying on the inside
Because now I can see the lies from the outside
I'm not you
I will never be you
I won't let you pull me through
I'm standing on the outside
I'm looking in on what you can't hide
Your dying on the inside
Because now I can see the lies from the outside
I'm standing on the outside
I'm looking in on what you can't hide
Your dying on the inside
I'm here again, a thousand miles away from you
A broken mess, just scattered pieces of who I am
I tried so hard, thought I could do this on my own
I've lost so much along the way
Then I'll see your face, I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name, I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
I've come undone
But you make sense of who I am
Like puzzle pieces in your eye
Then I'll see your face, I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name, I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
I tried so hard, so hard
I tried so hard
Then I'll see your face, I know I'm finally yours
I find everything I thought I lost before
You call my name, I come to you in pieces
So you can make me whole
Time
It's eating me alive
Unable to rewind
Sink deeper while I'm climbing
Never to arrive
I gave you everything
But still you need to feed
And underneath it all I'm screaming out
Just carry on
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
Just one that you can use
One risk but you can't lose
Play the victim while abusing
Anyone you choose
Painful consequence
Of standing on your lies
I'm barely breathing but
I'm screaming out
Just carry on
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
(Overtake you)
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake
You'll come to get me, but
You'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but
You'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but
You'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but
You'll end up dead
Just carry on
Just prove me wrong
I know that I'm dying right now
And it seems that I'm so far gone
But not for long
I'll just be strong and keep knowing
That now I will overtake you
You'll come to get me, but
You'll end up dead
You'll come to get me, but
You'll end up dead
(Overtake you)
You'll come to get me, but
You'll end up dead
(Overtake you, overtake you)
You'll come to get me
(Overtake you)
Came in from a rainy Thursday on the avenue
I thought I heard you talking softly
I turned on the lights, the TV and the radio
and still I can't escape the ghost of you
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some would say
Where is the life I recognize?
Gone away
BUT I WON'T CRY FOR YESTERDAY
THERE'S AN ORDINARY WORLD
SOMEHOW I HAVE TO FIND
AND AS I TRY TO MAKE MY WAY
TO THE ORDINARY WORLD
I WILL LEARN TO SURVIVE
Passion or coincidence once prompted you to say,
"pride will tear us both apart"
well now pride's gone out the window
'Cross the rooftops, run away
left me in the vacuum of my heart
What has happened to me?
crazy, some would say
where is my friend when I need you most?
Gone Away
BUT I WON'T CRY FOR YESTERDAY
THERE'S AN ORDINARY WORLD
SOMEHOW I HAVE TO FIND
AND AS I TRY TO MAKE MY WAY
TO THE ORDINARY WORLD
I WILL LEARN TO SURVIVE
What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some would say
Where is the world that I recognize?
Gone away
BUT I WON'T CRY FOR YESTERDAY
THERE'S AN ORDINARY WORLD
SOMEHOW I HAVE TO FIND
AND AS I TRY TO MAKE MY WAY
TO THE ORDINARY WORLD
I WILL LEARN TO SURVIVE
Everyone is my world
I will learn to survive
Everyone, Everyone
Slowly fading away
You're lost and so afraid
Where is the hope, in a world so cold?
Looking for a distant light
Someone who can save a life
Living in fear that no one will hear your cry
(Can you save me now)
I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you
I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
'Cause you're not
You're not alone
Your heart is full of broken dreams
Just a fading memory
And everything's gone
But the pain carries on
Lost in the rain again
When will it ever end?
The arms of relief seems so out of reach
But I (I am here)
I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you
I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
'Cause you're not
You're not alone
And I will be your hope
When you feel like it's over
And I will pick you up
When your whole world shatters
When you're finally in my arms
You'll look up and see, love has a face
I am with you
I will carry you through it all
I won't leave you
I will catch you
When you feel like letting go
'Cause you're not
You're not alone
And I will be your hope
You're not alone
And I will pick you up
And I will be your hope
And I will be your hope
Slowly fading away
Lost and so afraid
I know you, who are you now?
Look into my eyes if you can't remember
Do you remember? Oh
I can say, I can still find
You are the only voice my heart can recognize
But I can hear you now, yeah
I'll never be the same
I'm caught inside the memories
The promises, our yesterdays
And I belong to you
I just can't walk away
'Cause after loving you
I can never be the same
And how can I pretend I never knew you
Like it was all a dream, no
I know I'll never forget
The way I always felt with you beside me
And how you loved me then, yeah
I'll never be the same
I'm caught inside the memories
The promises, our yesterdays
And I belong to you
I just can't walk away
'Cause after loving you
I can never be the same
You left me here then I watched you disappear
You left this emptiness inside
And I can't turn back time
No, stay
Nothing compares to you, nothing compares to you
I can't let you go, can't let you go, I can't let go
I'll never be the same
Not after loving you
Not after loving you, no
I'll never be the same
I'm caught inside the memories
The promises, our yesterdays
And I belong to you
I just can't walk away
'Cause after loving you
I can never be the same
I can never be the same
I will never be the same
I just can't walk away
Tell yourself it's over now
Try to kill a broken bow
If only you could find the strength
To kill the memories
These empty pages never turn
You lit the flame and let them burn
You tried to bury me so deep
But what lies beneath
Will your hope die alone?
Will you fade on your own?
Can you just turn away
And let me go?
Lie to me if you can feel
That this love was never real
Walk away
If you can learn to love again
Lie to me if you can leave
I'll still be here when you see
You're not alone
You don't have to run again
And leave me in denial
All your secrets crawl inside
You keep them safe, you let them hide
You feel them drinking in your pain
To kill the memories
So close your eyes and let it hurt
The voice inside begins to stir
Are you reminded of all you used to be?
Can you just turn away and let me go?
Lie to me if you can feel
That this love was never real
Walk away
If you can learn to love again
Lie to me, watch me bleed
Yes, I'll still be here when you see
You're not alone
You don't have to run again
And leave me in denial
All the pain that you feel
It starts to grow inside
It lives again
And you can't let it die
So do you believe you'll never find
A reason to love again?
Lie to me, watch me bleed
I'll be here when you see
You're not alone
You don't need to run
Lie to me, watch me bleed
I'll still be here when you see
You're not alone
You don't have to run again
And leave me in denial
If you can learn to love again
Leave me in denial
If you can learn to love again
And leave me in denial
I watch the city burn
These dreams like ashes float away
Your voice I never heard
Only silence
Where were you when our hearts were bleeding
Where were you when it all crashed down
Never thought that you'd deceive me
Where are you now
How long can you stand the pain
How long will you hide your face
How long will you be afraid
Are you afraid
How long will you play this game
Will you fight or will you walk away
How long will you let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
I watch the city burn
These passions slowly smoldering
A lesson never learned
Only violence
Is your world just a broken promise
Is your love just a drop of rain
Will we all just burn our fire
Are you still there
How long can you stand the pain
How long will you hide your face
How long will you be afraid
Are you afraid
How long will you play this game
Will you fight or will you walk away
How long will you let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Will you wait until it all burns down
Will you hide until it all burns down
Will it hurt when it all burns down
Will you fight when it all burns down
Will you stand when it all burns down
Will you love when it all burns down
Will it end when it all burns down
Will you just let it all burns down
How long can you stand the pain
How long will you hide your face
How long will you be afraid
Are you afraid
How long will you play this game
Will you fight or will you walk away
How long will you let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
Waste away, I'm crawling blind
Hollowed by what I left inside
For you, just you, I'm caught in place
But I ignore what I can't erase
I will run and hide till memories fade away
And I will leave behind a love so strong
Close my eyes theses voices say
Haunting me, I can't escape
For you, just you, time will always wait
While I throw away what I can't replace
I will run and hide till memories fade away
And I will leave behind a love so strong
And I will leave behind a love so strong
I will run and hide, and I will leave behind
I will run and hide till memories fade away
You're here, trembling with fear
You made it clear
You turned your back and now you've gone astray
Nothing left to say
What's standing in your way?
You had the chance to never walk alone
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you here!
Again, lying in your bed
Nightmares is in your head
Facing all that you just threw away
At the edge again
It's coming to an end
You had the chance to never walk alone
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you
I need you, here! Here!
I need you, here! Here!
You gave it all away
I needed you to stay
Open up your arms I need you
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
Open up your arms I need you here
But you gave it all away
When I needed you to stay
Just open up your arms I need you here
I can do this on my own
I got nothing left to show
I try to run, I try to hide from a voice I couldn't
satisfy
That was me, Always needing more
And letting go of all I had before
Cause it feels like the end
A wound that I can't mend
I just can't fight any longer
You waited 'til I sobered
You came when You knew that the game was over
I didn't even want to be found
But you chased me down and broke in just when
I was done believing
Spun me 'round so close now
I can feel you breathing
Sunlight burns inside and
I feel so alive and
Help me now, tell me how
How can this last forever, forever
I ignored the signs, opened every door
But I couldn't find what I searched for
I try to fight but I turn and run
Every move I make is the wrong one
You patiently waited for my next mistake
I know it won't be much longer
You waited 'til I sobered
You came when You knew that the game was over
I didn't even want to be found
But you chased me down and broke in just when
I was done believing
Spun me 'round so close now
I can feel you breathing
Sunlight burns inside and
I feel so alive and
Help me now, tell me how
How can this last forever
You gave me so much more
Than I could ever ask for
But I turned and followed
A Road that left me hollow
And still you waited for me to come back home
You brought me home....
But you chased me down and broke in just when
I was done believing
Spun me 'round so close now
I can feel you breathing
Sunlight burns inside and
I feel so alive and
Help me now, tell me how
Enemy familiar friend
My beginning and my end
Knowing truth, whispering lies
And it hurts again
What I fear and what I try
The words I say and what I hide
All the pain, I want it to end
But I want it again
And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is breaking me again
It's still the same, pursuing pain
Isn't worth the light I've gained
We both know how this will end
But I do it again
And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is hurting me again
And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under
And without you
The fight inside is breaking me again
It's nothing
(It's everything)
It's nothing
(It's everything)
It's nothing
(It's everything)
It's nothing
It's everything
And it finds me
The fight inside is coursing through my veins
And it's raging
The fight inside is hurting me again
And it finds me
The war within me pulls me under
And without you
The fight inside is breaking me again
It's breaking me, it's breaking me
red is the color, there's no other, red velvet tap your veins
red is the color, red is the lover, red as drippin' stains,
red as the lips the wet tongue licks, red as the eyes that weep,

I'm going nowhere
Going nowhere fast
Drowning in my memory
Living in the past
Everything looked black till I found her
She's all I need and that's what I
say I call her RED
She's my shelter from the storm
She's the place to rest my head
Late at night she keeps me warm
I call her RED
I'm going to where the sun burns
And the heat stays in command
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
To where the river turns to dust
and God is never rushed
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay here
Red I need you and the world
Ah the buzzing, the stink, and the smell
Ah they're choking me
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
You'll be dressed in a cloud
I'll be singing out my tune real loud
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
Red I love you and the world
Yes it seemed to make sense when
Brother Santo said one more run be enough
Gonna be enough, be enough
Money for everything, silver-toed boots and gasoline
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay right here
Red I worry about you and the world
When I see you behind the glass
I forget that I'm in the cage
They bring me to Sunday mass
But it never wipes the rage
Red I love you and the world
Seven months gone and seven years to go
Red I can't stay no more
Come and lay by my side
Come and lay here
Red I need you in the world
The mist rolling in from the lochs to the Spey
Will rise from the valleys as the dawn comes again
We stand here together and prepare for the fray
When today could leave our history in flames
I look on the faces that oppression has greyed
The scars deep within that mark a lifetime in chains
The stark legacies of a nation have changed
As the history book begins another page
The strong urge to fight that was never overcome
The spirit burning bright that we shielded from the huns
The lost mother tongue never spoken in the light
Will echo in their ears tonight
For now the last cry of battle has returned to the glens
The clan fires are burning in the highlands again
We'll fight 'til the flag of freedom files overhead
Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
And the colour of the battlefield is red
From east where the mountains meet the sea to the west
We are legion united by the cause from the rest
They won't us wanting when our steel's to the test
I know every man and will give his best
We stare with defiance and our eyes are ablaze
We will kill every man who tries to stand in our way
We'll cut out their hearts and send them back where they came
For our claymores will send them to the grave
They can't turn the tide, now the battle has begun
The devil take the man, when his soul is on the run
The land will return to her long forgotten sons
To cherish in our hearts tonight
For now the last cry of battle has returned to the glens
The clan fires are burning in the highlands again
It's time for the million cast aside to be free
For we'll drive oppression back into the sea
We'll die for the children and the wives we defend
The lives and the memories of the proud-hearted man
We'll fight 'til the flag of freedom files overhead
Till the evil-hearted tyranny is dead
Red has taken us over
Reach in and steal whatever we can
So this is the feeling of power
Who can we break to stay at the top?
Hearts of stone will always be shattered
Turns around
Eyes of greed will always go blindly
Turns around
Feel the blood trickle down your back
You turn around and they’re daring you to react
So this is the feeling of power
Who can we break to stay at the top?
Hearts of stone will always be shattered
Turns around
Eyes of greed will always go blindly
Turns around
Threads of silk will someday grow tattered
Turns around
Red
Leave me alone, as I gather my pride.
And see the holes that I forever hide.
I think I've seen you in your darkest disguise,
For I am blinded.
I hate the light of your brutal eyes.
I hate the mask on your face that never cries.
I want to burn your face.
I feel the dragon that lives under your skin.
I feel the frost on your heart of sin.
You sucked my hope an dispatched my fate.
So immoral.
A celebration for the separated.
A wicked kiss for the love that died.
As on the cross of disgust I paint,
With my blood our lie.
Once I thought you where sended from our apathetic gods.
Yet now I know that a much darker kin grew your shade.
But be that as it may,
I love you still with my darkest hate.
Waiting by the door
She ain't taking it no more
Could it all be left alone
For her to make it on her own
Is the loneliness the only mess
She managed to complete
Ain't it better just to let her
Give him hell than to retreat
She's gonna run away
Even though you won't allow it
What you gonna do about it?
With her back stabbed, bags packed
Go on and doubt it
What you gonna do about it?
The ignorance she's facing
So cruel it is amazing
She made it all this way
No wonder she's astray
A smile, it's been a while
Forever it may seem
Ain't it better just to let her
Run away then to redeam
She's gonna run away
Even though you won't allow it
What you gonna do about it?
With her back stabbed, bags packed
Go on and doubt it
What you gonna do about it?
She's gonna run away
Even though you won't allow it
What you gonna do about it?
With her back stabbed, bags packed
Go on and doubt it
Trust! The blind man leads the way
A burnt out candle in the hand
Chasing for eternity nevermore
Pleased witn being lost forever
The touch on your face, it's lost
Too weak, too afraid to find salvation
Liquid illusions all that is seen
Believe in easy dreams. You can have it all!
Thoughts becomes to real, the end is hear!
Sun moon nothing's left to see
Stars all surrounding us
As we enter into endless nignt
It burns inside, tear it apart
Leave it all, face grim reality
Shed a tear for the lost
Weakness lies in trust
And the foolish await the arrival
Castle of promises imprisoned
Don't believe the words!
Repeat verse 3
* red is the colour of our dreams
Our blood, our life, our nignt
When all ends up darkened
Red is the colour of our dreams
Our blood, our life. Our night
I'm bleeding to death, red
Repeat verse 4
On a late Tuesday afternoon
The sun shone grey in the Massachusetts sky
Red walked into his living room
And found his mother with a tear in her eye
The times have changed, or so it seemed
Boys became men at the age of seventeen
Red was one of those, oh you know
What choice did they have other than to go?
So they went one by one
They found no comfort from that Vietnam sun
They wiped the sweat and blood from their face
And all they wondered when to find their saving grace
Each and every day they watched their brothers fall
They drink heavy at night and try to forget it all
Do you know how it feels whether to be alive or dead?
Oh this is the story of a man named Red
Telling tales of darkness
No legless man is harmless
Honestly
Described by a gun
Oh I can smell the gunpowder
The quiet cries getting louder
All this pain echoes in his head
This is the story of a man named Red
He walks the streets alone now
He can't quite understand how
He was the one to make it home
He came out just as he went in
Oh no, no, no if you could only see within
He lies awake and looks at his wife
Motionless and helpless
She has never felt this so but she knows what it's like
Living with these emotions each and every day
he still hears the orders "Colin!", "Colin!", "Fire away!"
Yeah, yeah, no..
Taken by the government yeah, no
One by one they went
But they didnt come back
Well I'm telling tales of darkness
No legless man is harmless
Honestly
Described by a gun
Oh i can smell the gunpowder?
The quiet cries getting louder
All this pain echoes in his head
This is the story of a man named Red
Well they couldn't have resisted
I guess the government insisted, woah yea
That their new best friends, oh that their new friends
Should die in their arms, die in their arms, oh yea
The tragic comedy divine
Paints the way the piece of mind
Leaving shallow lovers behind
At some certainties combined
Bringing tears to sleepless eyes
Memory runs the course of time
Blood runs cold beyond the violet prison
For violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you throw us away
We're never in love
We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say
So we sleep through the days
Within the heat of passion war
Lust is spilled upon the floor
Staining red the waisted metaphore
The selfish need for something more
Causing vain at closing doors
Scarring faces once adored
Tracing circles in the violet prison
For violent visions
And so the broken record plays
As you blow us away
We're never in love
We're drowning in cliches
So desperate to love
We're twisting every word they say
So we sleep through the days
It’s the color of blood,
The color of roses,
The color of tired eyes,
The color of a tear streaked face.
So I read you my story
And everything was read;
Even my darkest secrets were read out loud.
I read you my story
And my story was red;
From my heart to my hands
From my lips to my shoes
I’ve got nothing to loose
And when all’s done and said,
It was red.
It’s the color of courage,
The color of blushing shame,
The color of poppies,
The color of throbbing pain.
It marks the finish line,
The signal of break lights,
The passion of hatred,
The hue of undying love.
Tap your heels together three times;
Shakespeare doesn’t always have to rhyme!
When he’s angry it’s all he sees;
When I’m in love it’s everything, everything I breathe!
Feel me, the pain is mine
Give up, won't see no sign
God that's me on the throne
Above you on my own
[Chorus]
I'll lead you to the place
Where you can see
My real face
The things you know regret -
Despair is strangling you
Dancing in red
See me laughing
About your care
Your pictures much too fair
Promises were raped by me
Your mind in haze -
Too dark to see
[Chorus]
I am evil, can't you see
Your purity, your honest zeal
Your weakness and your being
Make me sick
And one day
I'll break your neck
[Chorus]
And I'm alright
Standing in the streetlights here
Is this meant for me
My time on the outside is over
No we don't know how you're spending all of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
No sympathy
When shouting out is all you know
Behind your lies
I can see the secrets you don't show
No we don't know how you're spending
All of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know their names
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When you took something perfect
And painted it red
You take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
Ooh, you take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need, ooh
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect
And painted it red
When you took something perfect
And painted it red
Red, you took something perfect
And painted it red
Red was the colour of her lips that morning.
Red was the sky the evening before.
Red were the leaves that fell through autumn.
Red was the colour that she always wore.
She ran through the forest floor.
And all the angels
And all the angels
And all the angels came gently flocking down.
Red were her cheeks from the bracing wind.
Red was the hood that she pulled up around.
Red was the door on her grandmother's cottage
She knocked once, then she knocked three times more.
And all the angels
And all the angels
And all the angels came gently flocking in.
And then she saw the wolf dressed in her grandmother's
clothes.
She thought that she'd heard the story before,
And she knew how the ending goes.
So she said to the wolf 'Grandma, you're looking down'
She wrapped her arms around him
And the love nearly spun him round.
The love just broke him down.
And all the angels
And all the angels
And all the angels came gently flocking round.
Red was the colour of her lips that morning.
Red was the sky the evening before.
Red were the leaves that fell through autumn.
Red was the colour that she always wore.
She ran through the forest floor.
And all the angels
And all the angels
Red like the river
Blue like the eyes of the woman who loves you
Red like the river
Blue like the eyes of the woman who hates you
Too many listen for love
Too many listen for hate
Too many listen for someone who wants to be something, someday
I'm gonna tell you something, Or nothing, yeah babe
I'm gonna stick it to someone, or something
I can't use that line
I can't use that line
I can't use that line
Tonight I saw you
Standin all alone
You looked like you were
Just waiting for me
But when I saw you
Something came over me
My heart beat in time with yours
I knew tonight was the night
Red, red red red
Red, was the color
That I gave to you
Red was the color (was the color of sex)
That you gave me
So come on with me
I’ll take you higher
Than you’ve ever been before
Just hold on tight, just hold on
Then you, and then I and then we
And then me
Red red red red
Red, was the color (the color of life)
That I gave to you
Red, was the color (the color of death)
That you gave to me
Red was the color that I gave to you
Red was the color that you gave to me
Your red all over me
Your red all over me
Your red all over me
A slick on the tarmac, a corner from nowhere
the needle's touching ninety
and I don't want to hurry you (don't want to hurry you)
and the road hits the roof as the car turns over
I watch you going backwards
and the seal of your life now lies there broken.
And it feels like a miracle
tonight I watch you going backwards
and the glass in your lap, and the glass in your face
lies
glinting in red
and the road hits the roof as the car turns over
I feel you there beside me
and my hand comes away from the back of your head
glinting in red
To see you stand and take my hand
would have to be a miracle
You're laying still beside the wheel
so twisted it's impossible
I wait for you to tell me that it's all been
just another dream
but how can you tell, when it's so true
true
In the valley of light theres dust
In the glory of pain theres life
In the bellys of pigs we rot
In the gullet or worms we die
The engines turning and salvations going down
And all I see and all I see is red
My stomachs burning and the venoms soaking in
And thats all i feel and all I feel is red
In the stories of time were lost
In the glories of rage we fly
On the shackles that bind theres rust
In the walkings of hell we die
The engines turning and salvations going down
And all I see and all I see is red
My stomachs burning and the knights just did me in
And thats all i know then all I know is red
Red
Red
Red
RED
RED
Needles and pins needles and pins
Needles and pins needles and pins
Needles and pins needles and pins
Needles and pins
The engines turning and salvations going down
And all I see and all I see is red
My stomachs burning and the venoms soaking in
And thats all i know then all I know is red
Red
Red
Its all red
Red
Red
Here we are
Witness constant change of the sky that never sleeps
And we see only the expedition tortured by the release
Once the vision leaves me flying
With the stillness in my mind
Will I be sad with what I find
Will I be sad with what I find
I'm the one inch punch
I'm the power you have wished for
I'm the aura of what gone it will never be
I'm the flower that you looked through
I'm the crystal of a fire stone
I'm the fear that you chew
I'm the snake all crawling
It's twisting it's rolling
See it climbing
This is the form of enticement
Manipulation gratification
This of the way of getting
To give what we get
Miss red is for fear
Miss red is for lust
Miss red is for everything I know you must want
I'm your favorite setting sun
I'm reverence when you come
I'm a challange to your fear
Now roll over
Disappear
Roll your hands around
Take your head line on my head
It's soft as a perfect clip
Handheld breath feels better now
Miss red is for fear
Miss red is for lust
Miss red is for everything I know you must want
Red will cross your fingers
Red will your legs
Red will hope your rubbers long enough to fuck with my head
I'm the montreal all your breath
I'm the passion of your will
Chase me around
Chase me around
Chase me around
I'm the one that'll bite your tail
Witness constant change of the sky that never sleeps
And we see only the expedition tortured by the release
Miss red is for fear
Miss red is for lust
Miss red is for everything I know you must want
If you stay here long enough
The whole world will fill our desires
C'mon stay here long enough
To let me feed your desires
We're all around you, you drive us out like dogs.
Yes, we surround you, like the words that blend into the
fog.
Yes, we remember... we write these words in bitter blood.
We are the drops that gave rise to a hateful flood.
I exorcise you if you are not our kind.
A place to drop your heavy chains is a place you'll never
find.
So let us make these lonely vows and add power to the
flood,
with one hand hanging free to sign your name in bitter
blood.
In red.
Legions deny me, the ugly embrace my heart.
Let pretty faces turn from me, let denial burn my heart.
I bring my brothers gifts, I bring them bitter blood.
We are the drops that gave rise to a hateful flood.
I'm alright standing in the street lights here
Is this meant for me?
Is my time on the outside over?
We all know how you've spended all of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know there names
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect and painted it red
No sympathy, when shouting out is all you know
Behind your lies, I can see the secrets you don't show
We all know how you've spended all of your days
Knowing that love isn't here
You see the pictures
But you don't know there names
Cause love isn't here
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect and painted it red
You take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
You take the best things from me
Then everything gets empty
That's not a world that I need
And I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect and painted it red
I can't do this by myself
All of these problems, they're all in your head
And I can't be somebody else
You took something perfect and painted it red
You took something perfect and painted it red
You took something perfect and painted it red
Love is for weak, love aint for me
the only thing she love is makin love in the sheets
Love in the streets man she lovin the beat
love all around me now im feelin the heat
Some people want love just to have someone to lean on
but i live above and the clouds is what i dream on
im so high in the sky and got the sun burning beneathe my feet
Floating in thin air i can pull out a star and have it for a treat
They always used to say if you have everything you have nothing at all
So i pull out a hundred and said herre try givin franklin a call
cuz i got no wife but a good life b**** Im Raw
I dont need anyone i dont need anything
If i wanted to i could just spit my game
but i dont want to fall in love and i dont want to get held down
cuz without this love i keep floatin around...in orbit, ha
but id rather have no love than bloated love like Norbit
They say the sun makes the earth shine bright
but im the one that gives the earth its light
and the day dont end till i say goodnight thats right
In the winter I can make the sun hot as hell
and in the summer i can make everyone colld and pale
see i dont need love because i can do all this
take off that sweater cuz im changin it back to August
The moon down come up when the sun go down
the moon just followin me circlin around.. the earth
but he know he cant catch me he's been tryin since birth
Love dont last forever because all love dies and where love dies heartbreak arrives
but you cant realy die until you live
and some don't live unless they have love to give
and if you have love to give you have love to get
and if you die lovin you get all my respect
Love is for weak, love aint for me
the only thing she love is makin love in the sheets
Love in the streets man she lovin the beat
love all around me now im feelin the heat
I hate you to love me but i love you to hate me
and i know if you hatin its because you aint me
Do you remember
That night in the garden?
We exchanged
little words
little kisses
Under the pale moonlight
Do you remember
Queen of hearts in your card deck?
Placing her in in my pocket
You said, "I'll love you forever"
is the color of my heart
On the side road
Being hit by your charm
And you remember
How you told me then
That you would be my man oh man na na
Is the color of my heart
On the side road
Being hit by your charm
Take it now
We will need it tomorrow
Life is easier to swallow
If all the clothes you wear are camouflage
And you drive around in a dually Dodge
With a blue-tick hound ridin' in the bed
You're red, you're red
If you're into sittin' in a tree stand for daylight
With an eight point buck in your sights
And not for sport but to keep your fed
You're red, man you're red
You're red, white and blue
Country through and through
If your arms are tan and your chest is white
And your idea of eatin' right
Is turnip greens, fried chicken and cornbread
You're red, You're red
Now, if you don't know who your congressmen are
But you can name every driver in NASCAR
And you cried when you heard Earnhardt was dead
You're red, man you're red
You're red, white and blue
Country through and through
You're American lovin', flag wavin', northern-southern family raisin'
Workin', playin', heaven prayin' country through and through
If Haggard sings your favorite song
And you learned the difference between right and wrong
With a hickory switch out behind the shed
You're red, you're red
If your letter jacket says FFA
And you spend your summers bailin' hay
With a John Deere cap sittin upon your head
You're red, man you're red
You're red, you're red
Paint on your nail smells like kerosene
Before these blisters we were squeaky clean
We were Mr. and Mrs. Butter and Cream
Sweet things turn sour honey, love's never clean
And I see red, red, red
Don't you hear what I said?
And it's thicker than the water
It'll rush into your head
And I see red, red, red
Don't you hear what I said?
They're pulling on my strings
Baby, shaking up the bed
Creeps in the attic, putting salt on our tails
Big bucks and high heels drove us both off the rails
We were sun gods in Athens but uncommonly pale
Tans don't last long, baby, white bread gets stale
And I see red, red, red
Don't you hear what I said?
And it's thicker than the water
It'll rush into your head
And I see red, red, red
Don't you hear what I said?
They're pulling on my strings
Baby, shaking up the bed
And I"m near you but I can't hear you but
I'm out here guessing
You're guessing too
You're guessing too
And I see red, red, red
Don't you hear what I said?
And it's thicker than the water
It'll rush into your head
And I see red, red, red
Don't you hear what I said?
They're pulling on my strings
