lyrics

RED

I feel the pressure in my head
it’s getting out of control
I’d like to escape instead
to the country, or through some black hole

See the sun when it’s shining down
on the puddles, on the winter ground
feel the heat burning in my head
I want to move from blue to red

See the grey skies all the time
I wonder is there any point in trying
will the light ever be again
or is hell on earth not fire but rain?

I would like to be someplace else
here there’s nobody but myself
so let me howl at the blood red moon
no-one I’m accountable to

See the angel in the blood-red sky
oh if I open up my blood red eye
makes me afraid of the light of day
I have to face it, come what may.
