lyrics

you were blue
there was a time when no one wanted you
and I was red
I saw you coming from far off in my head

don’t lie to me; I can look at you and know the truth
you hid your secret heart where the eagles told you to
you always did as you’re told

and it stirred a violence in me
like I had never known
unknown in my heart, but not at home

I knew you when you were young
I was young too
your soft animal heart
beat for approval
approval and love

and I dangled it like meat before a hungry cat
so I could feel for a moment a power I’d never had
and I felt so powerful

when you left your secrets out
you left your secrets out
and I scattered them around

I could see them coming as we were hunted, so I fled
you named me as your killer ‘cause I hid while you bled
admittedly, I called on the birds for rescue
but I did not send them to you
I did not send them to you

you wore black
you burned your candles to
keep them from coming back
so I sailed away
afraid, ashamed

how? how do we abide
the horror we carry inside?
we carry inside
inside
