Scarlet Canvas

How deeply by this capture, I’ve been moved
I can see you’re onto me, but do you know I’m onto you
(You don’t know how pathetic you are, to me)
Don’t make this hard, harder than it has to be
Don’t force me, don’t force me, force you
(Separate my skin and tie me down that’s when I get conflicted, so conflicted)

It seems like I always fall behind
Never knowing what is left or who is next
Would I leave you here to die
At least it feels like I’ll never be alone
And now the tension grows I guess, I must confess
I’m learning as I go

(If I begin to close my eyes and drift, I assume you know the color lives, as long as I’m alive to see the showing brought to life through me)
It’s a different kind of painting
With the fear that I’m relaying
And DaVinci would be envious if he saw the stains on my brushes of crimson, crimson and scarlet
This wall is my canvas and you are me pallet
(Separate my skin and tie me down that’s when I get conflicted, so conflicted)

It seems like I always fall behind
Never knowing what is left or who is next
Would I leave you here to die
At least it feels like I’ll never be alone
And now the tension grows I guess, I must confess
I’m learning as I go

(There’s no more turning back)
There’s nothing left but consequences now
(It’s never coming back)
I’ll put myself ahead somehow

I’m hiding and soon they’re gonna find me
I’m running and now they’re right behind
They’re searching, looking for the bodies I’ve hidden
And maybe that’s why…

It seems like I always fall behind
Never knowing what is left or who is next
Would I leave you here to die
At least it feels like I’ll never be alone
And now the tension grows I guess, I must confess
I’m learning as I go
