Etched In Red

Sifting Through

Etched In Red


emotions arrive so unaware 
cannot taste my own sanity 
all things scream stupidity 
and how to cope has left all of who I am 
this hate now starts to intrigue 
caressing, stroking me 
because I am sick of bullshit 
and people's mindless ignorance 

can you take this 
so strong 

am I alone on this day 
frightened of words that explain 
quite simply everyone is lame, everyone's to blame 
I must be a god 
I hate me for hurting who I love 
my heart was trained how to shove 
now life makes me start to cling 
with a crooked smile as it sings 

can you take this 
so strong 

stowed away all this time inside 
I'm sifting through the shade to escape the flames 
I see the fire building that I just can't confine 
can you take this 
(fuck this sanity) 
this fucking feeling coming 

everyone's the same 
everyone is lame 
everyone's to blame 
you must be a god 
word's from a fool who just don't feel right 
word's from a fool who just ain't alright 
today will pass tomorrow's sun will shine 

everyone's the same 
everyone is lame 
everyone's to blame 
you must be a god
