Crimson Shade of Red

You read these words to ease your mind
Looking desperately for something to find
Daily life troubles you all day
A brief distraction is something that you crave
Inside the mirror you will see
A simple cure for your insanity

So read the next line of this verse
Or get in line for your turn in the hearse
And find a way to get ahead
Or all you’ll see is a crimson shade of red

People see you, some kind of freak
Shattered and lonely and sometimes as weak
Hold up your head, learn to resist
Power of the mind is as strong as the fist
I don’t care and that makes them run
I would be just as happy if the world burned

So read the next line of this verse
Or get in line for your turn in the hearse
And find a way to get ahead
Or all you’ll see is a crimson shade of red

You can take your life
And turn it around
The spin of the knife
Is just like a coin
Flip it in the air
Set your destiny

Why do you wait? Get off your ass
Go seize the moment because this time won’t last
Look at the creature and be proud
And stand your ass up, scream who you are out loud
So read the next line of this verse
Or get in line for your turn in the hearse
And find a way to get ahead
Or al you’ll see is a crimson shade of red
