Written In Red

We're not going outside
In the desolate and rain-soaked streets tonight
To the flickering lights
As detracted moths indifferent to a flame
Thin veils of barbed wire
Paint these city walls with brushstrokes so demure
You were calling my name
And your words remain forever and endured

Written in red
Written in red
Written in red
Written in red

What kind of creatures stand alone
While the city dogs just carried on
One hundred years of solitude
Following

Your ticket and mine
The shutters close but only for awhile
Would you sit by my side
If our numbers drawn were for us to decide
The pale light in your eyes
Sing a different tune that I've not heard before
Soon your roses are blurred
And your parting words left scrawled across the floor

Written in red
Written in red
Written in red
Written in red

What kind of creatures stand alone
While the city dogs just carried on
One hundred years of solitude
Following

Written in red
Written in red
Written in red
Written in red
