Scarlet Stream

Lately it seems like
Life's a losing game
Trial and error
No matter where you aim

It's a struggle you know well
All your plans go up in flames
You feel like you're drowning
You can't even yell

You're waving in despair
All you do is gasp for air
The shore's too far away
And you've gone astray now

Lately it seems like no-one even cares
Where's the answer to your prayers?

You're dead in the water
Of your scarlet stream
You feel like you've slaughtered
Your wildest dreams
Hold your breath, close your eyes
You just can't stop the tide
Soon the waves will roll out

Trembling with anger
You've been cast adrift
No compass or anchor
Great unwanted gifts

You're waving in despair
All you do is gasp for air
The shore's too far away
And you've gone astray

No time to look back
Just go with the flow
Don't try to fight it
We are paper boats
Going where we are meant to go
And do our best to stay afloat

You are dead in the water
Of your scarlet stream
You feel like you've slaughtered
Your wildest dreams
Hold your breath, close your eyes
You just can't stop the tide
Soon the waves will roll out

You're dead in the water
But water runs through our veins
You feel you've been slaughtered
And currents wash away
