red red blood

Seven good years, seven thin,

don’t know what to do with them.

Days, are only days, are only pictures -

souvenirs of former lives, puzzle pieces,

sparks that died.

All you had that you’d forgotten,

all you tried to hide

In red blood.

All I wanted was your love.

Red, red blood.

All I’ve got is not enough.

Red, red blood.

All I needed was your touch.

Red, red blood.

Do I need it just because?

Now I believe in bigger pictures,

but our sky’s growing violent.

Keep coming back, I’m so ashamed,

and now the court’s decided

I was not an island until you taught me to swim.

Now I don’t know who’s ghost this is,

but I am so afraid of him

Red blood.

All I wanted was your love.

Red, red blood.

All I’ve got is not enough.

Red, red blood.

All I needed was your love.

Red, red blood.

Do I need it just because?

Every space is numbered with color corresponding code.

Now you see yourself a stranger in the city you called home.

Don’t you know you don’t belong here?

Every corner has a story now,

and all the shimmering of memory is fading out.

Don’t you know you don’t belong here?

Don’t you know you don’t belong here, Red Blood?

All I wanted was your love.

Red, red blood.

All I’ve got is not enough.

Red, red blood.

All I needed was your love.

Red, red blood.

And I need it just because.

On the pavement I bleed red, red blood.

When I’m gone I will leave red, red blood.
