Lyrics
Red Hen
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.
I don't know who to blame
Was it the man in the mask or the fool in its place?
Parading around like a wolf in sheep's clothing
Never needed your love until I got lonely
I could never be the things you wanted
Head down looking up to a broken promise
Aiming blindly at a moving target
Held up once again because I lost my focus
Hurricane season has start to slow
Trying times will soon come to close
The dead end behind us still up in smoke
Only from ashes will true colors show
And I know that I was supposed to look away
(Look away, look away)
Hate always has to take the best of me
Stagnant but ever present
The truth comes out on canvas
Never felt so disconnected
Feeling low, the wrong perspective
I'm an optimist in a losing fight
When we're pulling on the same rope
Will you loosen your grip?
If you knew me
Could you love me?
I can't think straight
We keep stumbling
We keep stumbling
Wait, don't look down
At the peak of my game
In the lost and found
And I know that I was supposed to look away
(Look away, look away)
Hate always has to take the best of me
Stagnant but ever present
The truth comes out on canvas
Never felt so disconnected
Feeling low, the wrong perspective
I'm an optimist in a losing fight
When we're pulling on the same rope
How do you think you know me
When you can't even take the time?
Do you stay up for hours knowing
That you gave up your peace of mind?
How do you think you know me
When you can't even take the time?
Do you stay up for hours knowing
That you gave up your peace of mind?
Never felt so disconnected
Feeling low, the wrong perspective
I'm an optimist in a losing fight
When we're pulling on the same rope
