all I see is red

Lyrics

Hmmm, all I see is red, hmmmm
Shadows crawling in my head, hmmmm
Footsteps falling, heavy lead, hmmmm
I’m coming, coming to put you to bed, hmmmm

You left the lights on, but I killed the glow
You locked the door, but I kicked it closed
You said my name like a distant ghost
But you never really knew me, no

Hmmm, all I see is red, hmmmm
Like sirens in my chest, hmmmm
Every word you left unsaid, hmmmm
I’m coming, coming to put you to bed, hmmmm

You made a home out of paper walls
You drew a heart on a broken wall
You swore you’d catch me when I’d fall
But you watched me, watched me crawl

Now I’m the echo in your hallway
I’m the whisper in your doorframe
I’m the storm under your calm face
I’m the fire you can’t contain

Hmmm, all I see is red, hmmmm
No mercy in my tread, hmmmm
You can run inside your head, hmmmm
I’m coming, coming to put you to bed, hmmmm

Lay your alibis down on the floor
Count the promises, less than before
Every secret that you tried to store
Is written in the cracks of your door

I tasted every bitter lie
I wore your silence as a disguise
But now your kingdom’s running dry
I’m the truth you can’t deny

Hmmm, all I see is red, hmmmm
Like a warning that you dread, hmmmm
Hear my footsteps, heavy lead, hmmmm
I’m coming, coming to put you to bed, hmmmm

No lullaby to keep you safe
No pretty words to hold the fray
You made this night, you set this stage
Now watch your fears parade

And when the morning hits your eyes
You’ll see what’s left of all your lies
Just ashes where your stories bled
And echoes of the words I said

Hmmm, all I see is red, hmmmm
Final chorus in your head, hmmmm
Close your eyes and bow your head, hmmmm
I’m coming, coming to put you to bed, hmmmm
I’m coming, coming to put you to bed, hmmmm
