Scarlet Lyrics

Battered and broken he rose to the street
In lieu of a dream that was stuck on repeat
And tattered his bed sheets to tie effigies
To the holes in his anatomy
Biting my lip so hard it bleeds
Cross referencing these shallow scenes
I'll be just fine
When this nightmare of you makes its exit
Stage right
Lost in the shadows he held to the sky
He opened the sun to the thorn in his eye
In hopes that he'd swallow his pride and go blind
And forget the stories he'd die just to write

Biting my lip so hard it bleeds
Kissed goodnight
Cross referencing these shallow scenes
In bad light
I'll be just fine
When this nightmare of you makes its exit
Stage right
Why should I? You did this to me
