Everything's red
In my world,
Bleeding me (out)
Onto white sheets
And I must be on my way
The pain of rearranging myself,
The shame of me in a white room,
For all to see--
Leaving myself behind,
And some of the room
Comes with me.
Red wine,
All in my mind
River flows
All in my head,
And I must be on my way.
