Crimson

Lets see, where do I begin?
When did it happen that we both must win?
I want it to stop; why did it start?
So much pain in a little remark

I see crimson seeping through
Destroying all the serene blue
Crimson flows, calm is wiped out
Anger grows to a climactic bout

Trying to hold back the nasty flow
Everything suddenly seems so slow
So much inside can't be spoken
Builds and builds until we are broken

I see crimson seeping through
Destroying all the serene blue
Crimson flows, calm is wiped out
Anger grows to a climactic bout

You always make me fall apart
Then come back for healing to start
The anger grows, then fades away
How do we forget the words we say?

I see crimson seeping through
Destroying for a moment, until the blue
Crimson flows, then is gone
We can both be weak, we can both be strong
