Crimson

Are we safe alone tonight?
The sound moans an eagle crying out but trying not to choke
He’s lost his pride
He looks for somewhere safe to die
And goes alone
His never trying heart you bullshit me to give it one more time
Is it ok?
Although my instinct wants him to survive
All of the digits stand and look up height
Look at the light! that’s like something
Well i’m sorry i caught you in my life
I'm haunting and i don’t know why
Eagle on my head tonight
Flies alone...
That always seems a bit too high
And just that day
I could touch you with my…
And now the mountains i can’t climb
I’m just eating for something
And i’m sorry i caught you in my life
I’m haunting and i don’t know why
In the open…
Now my heart is taking over
Now my heart is taking over
When evil start talking
It’s hard to know why
Are we speaking our mind,
Or just passing the time?
It’s addictive like smoking
That holds up the room
But i liked you...
And talking to you!
