Beautiful Red

Astrid Van Der Veen


beautiful red blood is leaving my veins 
running out of my hands 
dripping on the floor 
I'm bleeding and it feels good 
like my release finally arrived 
beautiful red is surrounding me 
no threats, no fears, just free at last 

beautiful red blood is fading to black 
no I cannot see, I'm losing my life 
beautiful red is all I can see 
suffocating, I cannot breath 
falling, I cannot stand 
no regrets, facing my death 

beautiful red 
dripping down 

drip drip, losing my beautiful red 
just a body dripping to death, just a soul, finding it's way 
no regrets, I'll see my friends again 

beautiful red blood is what I've seen 
pain in my life is what I've felt 
hate for stupid is what I've shown 
I lived my life and now I'm gone 

beautiful red 
dripping down
