Red
Red, the keys are red and the scales play up and down so fast
So fast
They hold my frame, my life and pull me through so fast
So fast
I must replay, play it again, up and down crying I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But red is all I see, it’s all I see pulling me through to you
To you
Red, the drums are red and the thumps harder and harder so fast
So fast
They reach my chest; beat through my soul so fast
So fast
Imust close my eyes and feel, what is that, I think I know
I think I know
But red is all I hear, it’s all I hear pulling me through to you
To you
Red, the echo is red and the voices are deep, deep within me so fast
So fast
They take my lungs and fill them, fill them so fast
So fast
I must let it take over, its breathing for me now I think
I think
But red is all I feel, it’s all I feel pulling me through to you
To you
Red, even the silence is red and it fills my ears so fast
So fast
It holds me close like a cotton dress, closer now close as it can
As it can
Imust let go now, let it take me, let it sing to me and me to itI’ll sing for it
But red is all I can sing, it’s all I sing pulling me through to you
To you
Red, even the ocean and the sky is red, a red I know, so familiar
So familiar
All around me is the red, even with my eyes closed, it moves past so fast
So fast
I must follow it, let it follow me, let it in and show it around, show it what I know
What I know
But red is all I see, it’s all I see pulling me through to you
To you
But red is all I see, it’s all I see pulling me through to you
To you
So fast
They hold my frame, my life and pull me through so fast
So fast
I must replay, play it again, up and down crying I thought I knew
I thought I knew
But red is all I see, it’s all I see pulling me through to you
To you
Red, the drums are red and the thumps harder and harder so fast
So fast
They reach my chest; beat through my soul so fast
So fast
Imust close my eyes and feel, what is that, I think I know
I think I know
But red is all I hear, it’s all I hear pulling me through to you
To you
Red, the echo is red and the voices are deep, deep within me so fast
So fast
They take my lungs and fill them, fill them so fast
So fast
I must let it take over, its breathing for me now I think

But red is all I feel, it’s all I feel pulling me through to you
To you
Red, even the silence is red and it fills my ears so fast
