Red

I had that dream again
Where the ceiling falls and everything is red
And every time you're there
With the depths of oceans coming from your pointed stare

And oh, you still pull me under
Oh, just like when we were younger
Oh, when my body hits the sea
Don't forget to look for me 

You woke up screaming again
Can't seem to stop the ghosts from getting in your head
You wield your words like knives 
to show the world it hasn't won tonight

The Flowers fell from our halos
leaving only thorns And stems
the petals swept into our closets
We decorate our skeletons
 The cuts you made to my body
the wounds you stitch and sew
 I'm tearing at the seams blindly to try to get to your bones
