Lady In Red - ALCHEMICAL
This thumping leaves me endlessly
Your crimson supernova left a mark on me
I sold my soul to the devil in the trees
The closest I came to flying free
Lady in Red?
Why did you leave me for dead?
I was a starlet
In your hornet's nest
I was chased
Through the wicked woods
By your one and only
Blood knuckled muse
My fingertips were violet and laced
Cleaving my teeth with the blindest rage
This age old resentment will pass away
With the tyrants that loved me more this way
But there I was invested
In more than just my downfall
I understand that those
Who have come before me
Have flattened the needles
On the path I walk on
Lady in Red?
How could you leave me for dead?
I was a starlet
In your hornet's nest
I was chased
Through the wicked woods
By your one and only
Blood knuckled muse
Lady in Red?
Does your poetry reflect?
The guilt with which
You warm your bed
Does your sleep
Come as peacefully?
As it did before
You grew tired of me
I took the hint
Like a shot through the chest
With time the pain faded
But the bullet stayed back
In the thick of the chatter
That twisted every nerve
And in the depths of the silence
That followed every word
Are you protected?
By the pedestal you stand on
Age old wisdom
Is the drug you survive on
Lady in Red
Was your temptation sin?
Enough to swallow
Every colorful pill?
I was chased
Through the wicked woods
By my one and only
You blood knuckled muse
Lady in Red
I hope your sanctimony ends
I couldn't survive
Being torn to shreds
I hope it haunts you
Like the ghost in my dreams
A people pleaser who just wanted
You to meet her in the middle.
