Red Veins

26 8 7
                                    

Smearing blood on dark walls
Crying out under water
Slipping through cracks so small
Flipping through pages long forgotten

Smiling till the world ends
Crossing paths at night
Flying in the open air
Rolling unnumbered dice

We've been through days
We've fast forwarded
We've been through nights
We wanted slow

The leaves had dried
The flowers withered
The window dirty
The ground littered

We said goodnight
To people who don't care
We fought for the right
Stopping unwanted tears

I told them to stop
I told them to leave
Give me a sign
Throw me the keys

But they had barged in
Asked what's wrong
Said their sorrys
Told me I should write a song

Crawling through net
Laughing through tears
Following a path
Of destruction and fear

A charge of evil
A thrust of faith
A drop of blood
A touch so sincere

I looked up at the sky
Crouched under my bed
Prayed to the lord almighty
Given my hopes to the dead

If this ends now
No future resides
If this goes on forever
I'll be torn in fright

Flowing water
In paradise
Fire engulfing
Freezing ice

It wasn't what I wanted
It wasn't written down
Fate had played its part
Destiny tearing my soul apart

It wasn't what I wantedIt wasn't written downFate had played its partDestiny tearing my soul apart
