Red

Blood runs like a river through my dreams
It covers everyone that means anything,
It's so thick that I can't swim
My legs and arms are giving in

There are no colors that I see
No sign of help reaching out for me
My scars are all from what I’ve done
I wake up, yet, there is no sun...

The blood washes off, but it will stain
It's like a needle stabbing at your vein,
It may not be there, but it still shows
Your pupils are dead, but your eyes still glow

So kill the beast that lives inside
Starve your soul and your body will die
You may have thought you lost your mind,
But it's better than your life
