Red By: Michael Dykhoff 10/6/05 I look at you with hateful eyes and know I shouldn�t For all the things you used to be just couldn�t Measure the man who sits before me in this chair Waiting for the day he could shut his eyes and die right there Lost in queue alerts, trapped by beeps and chirps My head hurts with the names you yell As you brand me with the lies you tell And oh those eyes they look so painfully When they see the hurt inside of me Wasted pain replaced by words re-played Circumstances bleed into what�s delayed And it�s lost, it may never come back to what it was You repeat, repeat, repeat everything you say just because You long to hear the voice in which you�ve hurt so bad The one you�ve broken through the years of all he had The lights of the city may be as white as can be But all the glowing brilliance is RED to me The machine isn�t broke but its sure winding down The gears are busted and it makes a strange sound As it all slowly fades, fades away It leaves me here with the guilt I pay For loving you is so hard to do When all you want me to feel is disgust for you My silent peaceful life was taken from me Replaced with a falling feeling of insanity They say the sky is blue but it�s lost on me My eyes look to the clouds and it�s RED I see Now I lack air just as much as you do Am I not now equivalent to you? So take it as you want it, I know you will no matter what I say For I am the puppet in the show of estrangement we play Oh you�re good at what you do, but you always were Sucking the life you lack from the ones you can defer When bad memories deprave the mind of all it sees Rust collects the dust that falls on all insecurities Quiet and abeyant in this place where I lay My voice lost hope, shut down along the way Idly smoldering for the chance to come back one day It�s taken some time to get a little back but it�s coming around Until now I haven�t made a sound What a waste of time to have each card play out like this For someone whom I will someday have to reminisce All the colors on my pallet are no longer complimentary Of all the shades and pigments it�s only RED I see
