Red Tide

Lyrics

Verse 1
She woke up twisted in the sheets
Eyes like thunder, jaw to teeth
The whole room braced for the hour
Blood in the sink, blood in the shower

She said, "Don't touch, don't ask, don't lean"
Her hands were shaking, sharp and mean
Every step shook the floorboards loose
Every breath came out abused

Pre-Chorus
And the walls went tight
And the air got thin
You could feel the night
Starting to cave in

She was hurt, she was hurt
And it fed the flame
One more crack in the earth
When she said my name

Chorus
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
It takes what it wants tonight

Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
You don't get out alive

Verse 2
By noon the hallway was a war
Cups on the edge, slammed doors
Her laugh came like a broken plate
Then a scream that split the frame

The neighbors knocked, the dog would hide
The TV shook from side to side
She cursed the moon, cursed the heat
Cursed every fool who came too close to breathe

Pre-Chorus
And the walls went tight
And the air got thin
You could feel the night
Starting to cave in

She was hurt, she was hurt
And it fed the flame
One more crack in the earth
When she said my name

Chorus
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
It takes what it wants tonight

Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
You don't get out alive

Bridge
I saw her bend, then rise again
A crown of pain, a fist of rain
She roared at God, she roared at glass
Said, "Every storm has got to pass"

Screamo Break
LET IT BURN!
LET IT BREAK!
SHE'S NOT YOUR SAINT
SHE'S YOUR SHAKE!

The whole wide world can hear the crack
When a body turns and bites back

Guitar Solo

Final Chorus
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
It takes what it wants tonight

Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
You don't get out alive

Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
Run from the red tide
She won't be denied
