Scarlet

My bloodstream filled with melatonin Ceiling's ice, my vision's frozen The time of my life, yeah, that was stolen Nothing around-a here that isn't broken Playing lies in my head, for the feeling My teeth grind, yeah, I'm still just seething Labeled obsolete, keep my hands deceiving Save the repeat, this town's really just demeaning Don't tell me I'm the only one feeling this way (Feeling this way?) Don't tell me I'm one feeling this weight (Nah, hold up) All the wolves here they hiding right in sheep's clothing Loads of people speaking words with golden coatings Won't be left out, nah, won't be struck down loathing Won't be disavowed, won't be stuck at -- (Now Loading) Thinking 'bout the people who used to smile and wave I'd talk to them but they'll lie say won't forget my eyes and name I'm at an impasse, no importance -- yeah, no way Until I've got the artifacts to back up how I create Playing bloody knuckles, painting all the brick walls Whoa Won't you let me be myself this one time? Let me by myself this one time, lo Whoa That's been the trick, that's been the dream Facts two time, it's tearing at seams While you're staring they're going in for the steal No one gives a f*ck about how you really feel Cause it don't matter how philosophical I'll be Only fix they eyes if I go flexing Versace A pleasure to see familiar faces when we Get out of this cycle of ever growing maybes When they bowing down to me, getting down to my deeds Maybe I can chill out but now I can only proceed Before I'm wiped out by something right in my genes But tonight I'll help myself freely and formally F*ck this waiting, getting too long Keep my eyes front before I view this wrong Before my image gets distorted and overblown Before my thinking starts turning right off and gone Thinking 'bout the people who used to smile and wave I'd talk to them but they'll lie say won't forget my eyes and name I'm at an impasse, no importance -- yeah, no way Until I've got the artifacts to back up how I create Not a connection, nah It's more like a tether Raising questions of whether or not I can sail through this weather A record setter of how fast I fell A newsline header Scarlet Because my vision's getting redder and redder In my letter I'll tell her how I'll make decisions better F*ck the sentiment for allowing all this shit to fester To my objectors I'll be your jester My temper's going up along with all the pressure you'll measure with pleasure Playing bloody knuckles, painting all the brick walls Whoa Won't you let me be myself this one time? Let me by myself this one time, lo Whoa
