Calliope Mori - Red
[00:10.41] Tonight the moon has rose in a crimson red
[00:13.41] But roses gotta wither, so I'll live forever instead
[00:15.90] And now I can't get rid of all of these thorns in my head
[00:18.66] Bring on the hemorrhaging
[00:20.15] I guess I'll live inside your memory
[00:24.16] Another distorted story that ignored the deceased
[00:26.91] I'll live inside of a castle, pray I'm never released
[00:29.66] I'd rather kick it in the dungeon, cuz I'm that kind of beast
[00:32.16] I'll bet my heart on the cards because I trust me the least
[00:35.15] (Let it die)
[00:35.81] Pressure mounting, but I'm doomed without it
[00:36.80] Precious moments zooming by, don't doubt it
[00:38.31] Rest is ephemeral, scream and shout it
[00:39.47] The best don't sleep, I was all about it
[00:40.46] (Let it die)
[00:41.12] But reaping keeps you tucked in the shadows
[00:42.37] This creeping feeling of identity battles
[00:43.87] Closing in on every side of me
[00:49.12] Red tomorrow, red today
[00:54.62] Dread, sorrow, can't turn away
[00:57.87] (Can't turn back...)
[01:00.12] Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
[01:04.87] As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
[01:08.01] But hold your breath, guess who's running the show?
[01:10.52] And when this red runs black I'll ask you, was I everything you imagined?
[01:16.01] When my time's finally up, the sun's falling down
[01:19.02] I'll turn to stone again
[01:23.15] Every day's a fight to stay relevant
[01:24.40] And it cannot last, so I'll relish it
[01:25.90] And our planet's vast, but this hole's a ditch
[01:27.41] Ya toss out the past, and you can strike it rich
[01:28.65] Nobody asked, but the mask is an alright fit
[01:30.15] And this fiction's no disaster in spite of it
[01:31.66] I stay curious, what comes after it?
[01:33.06] So mysterious, and yet I exist
[01:34.06] Hold on
[01:35.30] Stay beautiful, stay young
[01:37.81] There are blades to be swung yet
[01:39.55] Rising soon
[01:40.95] Regard the moon
[01:41.95] Reflected in the crimson sung tonight
[01:47.45] Red tomorrow, red today
[01:52.96] Dread, sorrow, can't turn away
[01:56.71] (Can't turn back...)
[01:58.70] Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
[02:03.45] As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
[02:06.59] But hold your breath, guess who's owning the throne?
[02:09.10] So come alive now
[02:11.35] Once again, so I can chase you down
[02:14.09] We are five minutes away from...
[02:16.00] The end that's come
[02:17.50] Continue slashing forward I must
[02:20.25] Or else just fade away
[02:32.01] There's a drive to strive inside all of us
[02:34.01] A never-ending ouroboros
[02:35.50] Sinking way deep down and it's all because
[02:36.76] I kept thinking that reaping is all there was
[02:38.00] And is now
[02:38.40] I gotta find a way out, escape, how?
[02:39.65] Fate has a funny way of shaking the weak down
[02:40.89] Am I gonna peak now?
[02:41.79] Future lookin' bleak, wow
[02:42.39] Somehow incomplete after all
[02:44.04] (Can't turn back...)
[02:46.29] Time, I'll always be a prisoner to my ambition
[02:51.04] As petals fly, I'll dance your tune
[02:54.29] Don't hold your breath for me!
[02:57.04] And when this red runs black I'll ask you, was I everything you imagined?
[03:02.29] When my time's finally up, the sun's falling down
[03:05.04] I'll turn to stone again
[03:09.04] So come alive now
[03:11.54] Once again, so I can chase you down
[03:13.79] We are five seconds away from...
[03:16.29] The end that's come
[03:17.29] From here on out, it's only just me and this bloodlust
[03:23.04] I'd rather just...
[03:24.29] Fade away
