Seeing Red (2004)

Seeing Red

2004

Chagall

This was inspired by a short story.

Lyrics:

Trees burn as I sit here alone
Faces in my mind
Raging waters flowing with blood
Shed by innocents
Layered spirals circle back
To the end-beginning
Trees burn as I sit here alone
Faces in my mind

I am seeing red, I am seeing nothing
I am burning up inside
I am tired of this, I am dead alive,
I will break this, I can't go on

Knives won't help me solve this
Cast them to the flame
Destruction is exhilaration
Pile on one more excuse
So peaceful and such deadly sting
Hope is lost and long-gone
Knives won't help me solve this
Cast them to the flame

I am seeing red, I am seeing nothing
I am burning up inside
I am tired of this, I am dead alive,
I will break this, I can't go on

The lake of fire will cleanse me now
Of memories of you
My cloak will hide the skeleton
It's twisted pain I fear
I'll be the phoenix of passion's death
Blood-red transmutation
The lake of fire will cleanse me now
Of memories of you

I am seeing red, I am seeing nothing
I am burning up inside
I am tired of this, I am dead alive,
I will break this, I can't go on.

I am seeing red, I am seeing nothing
I am burning up inside
I am tired of this, I am dead alive,
I will break this, I can't go on
I can't go on
I can't go on

Can you see me in the fire? I am trailing my fingers in blood...
