Scarlet

Middle of nowhere

Finally, you can breathe

Nobody knows your name

It's easier

Shut your eyes tightly

Clench your fists till they almost bleed

Cautiously, lightly

Gently expose what's underneath

And all you feel now

Is the scarlet in the day

Even if it's real, you can't stay

So there you go

You're gone for good

There you go

You're gone for good

Your mind is swollen

From months of thought without release

They've taken their toll on you

In this very moment

Of timid and fragile honesty

Is precious and rare and fleeting

And all you feel now

Is the scarlet in the day

And even if it's real

You can't stay

So, there you go

You're gone for good

There you go

You're gone for good

Oh, oh, oh

There you go

You're gone for good

There you go

You're gone for good
