In Red

Don't ever ask me why I bite the bullet from the start I balance on a wire Between the gutter and the stars The price that I should pay Is higher than I thought There's something I should gain Walking tall against the rain I tried to cut the ropes to get off the ground But still I could not have fled My heavy anchors will be weighting me down Till I paint my sails in red I'll never tell you why I keep my secrets in the box You know how hard I've tried To beat my way through ash and dust The price that I should pay Is higher than I thought There's something I should gain Walking tall against the rain
