Scarlet
Let's taint the town a crimson shade
Your favorite hue
We'll celebrate our wicked ways
When we're feeling blue
My skin is made of parchment
And you're bulletproof
The door to my apartment
Is intangible to you
But Scarlet
Tell me how it started
Promised it was harmless
Don't be afraid
Now Scarlet
You're everybody's artist
And everybody's heartless
Everybody's grey
I paint my walls in watercolors
They fade away
You say you'll live forever
Darling, I will bear your stain
You pave a black road's silver lining
And lead me astray
One more tiny, tragic secret
I'm so captively ashamed
But Scarlet
Tell me how it started
Promised it was harmless
Don't be afraid
Now Scarlet
You're everybody's artist
And everybody's heartless
Everybody's grey
So hold me hostage in your web
Load the gun inside my head
They will ask me why I'm always
Seeing red
Tie me up and watch me burn
Every night a lesson learned
The less I try to leave
The more you let it hurt
But Scarlet
Tell me how it started
Promised it was harmless
Don't be afraid
Now Scarlet
You're everybody's artist
And everybody's heartless
Everybody's grey
Your favorite hue
We'll celebrate our wicked ways
When we're feeling blue
My skin is made of parchment
And you're bulletproof
The door to my apartment
Is intangible to you
But Scarlet
Tell me how it started
Promised it was harmless
Don't be afraid
Now Scarlet
You're everybody's artist
And everybody's heartless
Everybody's grey
I paint my walls in watercolors
They fade away
You say you'll live forever
Darling, I will bear your stain
You pave a black road's silver lining
And lead me astray
One more tiny, tragic secret
I'm so captively ashamed
But Scarlet
Tell me how it started
Promised it was harmless
Don't be afraid
Now Scarlet
You're everybody's artist
And everybody's heartless
Everybody's grey
So hold me hostage in your web
Load the gun inside my head
They will ask me why I'm always
Seeing red
Tie me up and watch me burn
Every night a lesson learned
The less I try to leave
The more you let it hurt
But Scarlet
Tell me how it started
Promised it was harmless
Don't be afraid
Now Scarlet
You're everybody's artist
And everybody's heartless
Everybody's grey
