Tonight the moon has rose in a crimson red
But roses gotta wither, so I'll live forever instead
And now I can't get rid of all of these thorns in my head
Bring on the hemorrhaging
I guess I'll live inside your memory
Another distorted story that ignored the deceased
I'll live inside of a castle, pray I'm never released
I'd rather kick it in the dungeon, cause I'm that kind of beast
I'll bet my heart on the cards because I trust me the least
(Let it die)
Pressure mounting, but I'm doomed without it
Precious moments zooming by, don't doubt it
Rest is ephemeral, scream and shout it
The best don't sleep, I was all about it
(Let it die)
But reaping keeps you tucked in the shadows
This creeping feeling of identity battles
Closing in on every side of me
Red tomorrow, red today
Dread, sorrow, can't turn away
(Can't turn back...)
Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
But hold your breath, guess who's running the show?
And when this red runs black I'll ask you, was I everything you imagined?
When my time's finally up, the sun's falling down
I'll turn to stone again
Every day's a fight to stay relevant
And it cannot last, so I'll relish it
And our planet's vast, but this hole's a ditch
Ya toss out the past, and you can strike it rich
Nobody asked, but the mask is an alright fit
And this fiction's no disaster in spite of it
I stay curious, what comes after it?
So mysterious, and yet I exist
Hold on
Stay beautiful, stay young
There are blades to be swung yet
Rising soon
Regard the moon
Reflected in the crimson sung tonight
Red tomorrow, red today
Dread, sorrow, can't turn away
(Can't turn back...)
Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
But hold your breath, guess who's owning the throne?
So come alive now
Once again, so I can chase you down
We are five minutes away from...
The end that's come
Continue slashing forward I must
Or else just fade away
There's a drive to strive inside all of us
A never-ending ouroboros
Sinking way deep down and it's all because
I kept thinking that reaping is all there was
And is now
I gotta find a way out, escape, how?
Fate has a funny way of shaking the weak down
Am I gonna peak now?
Future lookin' bleak, wow
Somehow incomplete after all
(Can't turn back...)
Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
Don't hold your breath for me!
And when this red runs black I'll ask you, was I everything you imagined?
When my time's finally up, the sun's falling down
I'll turn to stone again
So come alive now
Once again, so I can chase you down
We are five seconds away from...
The end that's come
From here on out, it's only just me and this bloodlust
I'd rather just...
Fade away
