Red Hound

Read my mind Then sharpen up my thoughts And use them as a knife You would tell me anything To keep my heart enslaved Though every lie incurs a debt to pay Pay Skin glowing red as the fire from which you came Born of ember spite and rage My sanity at stake I bend until I break You burn me with your breath Look in my baby blue eyes Watch as you drain them of light I watch you shift and shape I feel my skull break Drifting through oceans drowning at sea Floating on the serotonin you gave me Lead astray I never hesitated Did I always feel this way I can't remember My sanity at stake I bend until I break You burn me with your breath A voice from in the dark Pierces through my heart A red hound in the flesh A red hound in the flesh Lure me And feed upon my desolation Fool me With a voice I've heard before I told myself Don't run away 939 reasons to stay But I'll leave with just one It's all that I've got I refuse to give in to a dirty fucking mutt I refuse I refuse I'm drifting through oceans drowning at sea Floating on the serotonin you gave me Didn't always feel this way I have to end it My sanity at stake I bend until I break You burn me with your breath A voice from in the dark Pierces through my heart A red hound in the flesh In the flesh The gaping jaws of death
