Lyrics
Scarlet
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Middle of nowhere
Finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name
It's easier
Shut your eyes tightly
Clench your fists 'til they almost bleed
Cautiously, lightly
Gently expose what's underneath
And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
Even if it's real
You can't stay...
[Chorus]
So there you go
You're gone for good
There you go
You're gone for good
Your mind is swollen
From months of thought without release
They've taken their toll on you
This very moment
Of timid and fragile honesty
Is precious and rare and fleeting
And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
And even if it's real
You can't stay...
[Chorus x2]
