Black and Red
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.
You ain't a good friend
Got some dirt under your fingertips
Don’t care about a thing
Yeah, you know what you want and that’s what you’re gonna get
I make it easy
To take advantage of what I give
When my hands peel back your skin
You should blame yourself for it
I know you better than yourself
Your distance tells me where your heart is
There's no coming back
I only see in black and red
I’m gonna get paid
Oh, yeah, I’m gonna get what I put in
When the air is suffocating
When your shelter is no longer there
When my hands are around your neck
You should blame yourself for it
I know you better than yourself
Your distance tells me where your heart is
Do you blame someone else for your darkness?
Oh, I know you better than yourself
When the Sun escapes your grasp
Sets fire to everything
When my hands are around your neck
You should blame yourself for it
I know you better than yourself
Your distance tells me where your heart is
Do you blame someone else for your darkness?
Oh, I know you better than yourself
